This short documentary, meant to be humorous, was deemed "derogatory and an embarrassment to the company" by the leadership of the Villages Media Group. My son worked for this group for a year and did most of the videography that was show daily on The Villages television station. He took off 4 days off during the year and walked in today to find out from his boss, Jill, that he was being fired immediately.k
Imagine being 24 years old and hearing this because of something you posted on social media six months ago that was intended to be funny.
Daniel filmed many people in many different "happy", but really irrelevant, Villages environments because that is what The Villages Media wants to show.
I am a retired United States Navy veteran and love living in The Villages, but the actions taken today by this company have really made me think if this is the place I want to spend the rest of my life.
My son has many talents that The Village Media Group
suppressed. I hope he takes this opportunity and moves forward in a way that The Villages Media Group is not able to do.

I believe the video didn't gain any traction until now because it was reported on by an Orlando media outlet. Before that, the The Villages probably didn't even know it existed.
