Documentary Film JUNIOR Out on VOD Today
By: Movies News Desk Aug. 13, 2013
A new film from Cinedigm called JUNIOR will be out on VOD today, August 13th.
JUNIOR is a documentary at its core about the relationship between and mother and son but it goes so much deeper than by showing how they grow old while finding a way to stay young. And you might have heard something about "Ma" / Josephine Belasco from a few years ago when she graduated High School late in life (in her 90's), then went on Kimmel, among other interviews.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eR7FIkoYHg Synopsis: Eddie Belasco is a 75-year-old Italian-American who seems to have jumped from the pages of a Scorsese script, except he lives with his 98-year-old "Ma," Josephine. Luckily, their senses of humor match their levels of irritability. Together they fight and laugh in equal measures as the difficulties of aging and living in a changing neighborhood catch up with them. Eddie was always one to love the limelight, trying his hand at acting and managing topless female rock bands and now is running a non-profit theatre group for young people. In the meantime, the spotlight is squarely on Josephine, with the local press running to her as she finally gets her High School diploma.
