After Circus: The show must go on

The film After Circus offers a unique look at a tight-knit community of retired circus performers in Sarasota, Florida.

With humour and warmth, these larger-than-life characters are determined to support each other through thick and thin at a time when they need it most.

Life under the big top is hard on the body. But the performers, many of them born into the craft, do it because of their love and appreciation of the art form.

This film thoughtfully explores the lives of circus performers whose careers have come to an end.
