This film is a homage to Adam Silver who starred in Bruce Schwartz's award winning "In MacArthur Park" who recently passed away. As an actor he struggled with homelessness and fell through the cracks even though he received "rave" reviews for his starring role in Schwartz's film. A touching tribute is offered in this documentary by Schwartz and Adam Silver's adult daughter Cina McBride to Adam's life and hard times.
Schwartz taught Adam Silver in an acting class. They worked together to create a script that used Silver's life as a young Navajo Indian just off a New Mexico reservation who came into the city with little or no skills and who had an extremely hard time surviving under the circumstances.
Cina McBride is interviewed at length providing insights into her father's difficult life. Adam Silver was sent off to a boarding school at age four and felt abandoned by his parents. He married his teenage sweetheart, couldn't find a job on the reservation and joined the Army and fought in Vietnam. Coming back he struggled with Post Traumatic Stress and other issues which resulted in a divorce and loss of his family life. Cina McBride lost contact with him; she was a loving daughter who never doubted her father's love, courage, and great acting ability. He was a man very much missed as she grew up and lost contact with him for many years until discovering him in a nursing home in 2015. They reconnected but it was too late. He was too ill and died. As a Veteran he was given military honors and was buried near his original home at the local V.A. Cemetery.
