The feature documentary "Duty Free", scored by Crystal Grooms Mangano is releasing in the US and Canada today. Here is the film’s website: www.dutyfreefilm.com
The soundtrack is now available on all platforms , released by Groomsy Music.
The film premiered last fall at DOCNYC and was an audience crowd-pleaser. Here is a review from the Hollywood Reporter:

The documentary is sparking conversation around the country about ageism and the roles of different generations in our modern society. Here is the film’s synopsis:
“After a 75 year-old mother gets fired from her job, her son takes her on a bucket-list adventure to reclaim her life. As she struggles to find work, he documents a journey that uncovers the betrayals plaguing her past and the economic insecurity soon to shape not only her future, but that of an entire generation.”
It is a very personal story, leaves the audience inspired, and is a beautiful film for Mother’s Day.
Thank you for sharing and for all the support you provide to our community!
