ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida native Lance Oppenheim makes his documentary feature debut with a film that details life in the United States’ largest retirement community: The Villages.
“Some Kind of Heaven” examines “ ‘The Truman Show’-like” community designed to remind inhabitants of their youth. It follows four residents whose “Villages dreams have become a nightmare in an attempt to find what heaven truly is after finding the pre-packaged version isn’t going to cut it,” Oppenheim said.
“It’s about human struggle and how we continue to endeavor to do things,” he said.
