"Caregiving" documentary premier on PBS

When
Jun 24 2025 | 8 - 10pm

Munroe Meyer Institute and the Nebraska Lifespan Respite Network
6902 Pine St
Omaha, NE 68102
United States

https://wellbeings.org/series/caregiving/ Caregiving, a new documentary created with executive producer Bradley Cooper, highlights the challenges and triumphs of caregiving in America. Award-winning actress Uzo Aduba (The Residence, Painkiller, Orange is the New Black) narrates the film, bringing her own experience as a caregiver for her mother to the project. The two-hour documentary will premiere Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET on PBS and the PBS YouTube Channel. An early streaming premiere begins Tuesday, May 27, 2025, on WellBeings.org, PBS.org, and the PBS app. The two-hour documentary is centered on the personal experiences of caregivers providing for loved ones, and the challenges and triumph they face each day. As the number of caregivers declines, and the number of individuals requiring care in our country increases, the challenges grow. Caregivers require differing types and levels of support. At times, the burdens of caregiving can seem unbearable, regardless of resources. The “needs gap” for information may be greater for caregivers than it is for care recipients. The film will explore these issues and shine a light on innovation for 21st century caregiving.
