The Guardians

Drama, War · 2018R

THE GUARDIANS examines the systemic abuse of elderly people in Las Vegas and exposes a cautionary tale where some of our society’s most vulnerable citizens are robbed of their life savings, healthcare decisions and autonomy. Victims are drawn into a scheme that allows corrupt court-appointed guardians to take control of their lives. Armed with court-orders obtained under dubious circumstances, guardians are able to forcibly remove elderly wards from their homes, isolate them from their families and systematically empty their bank accounts. In a saga that reaches to the top level of government, victims come together to seek justice, restitution and freedom.
