“Caregiving” Documentary Airs on PBS and Streams on pbs.org
By JCA on June 24, 2025
Weaving in history and context, Caregiving follows people on the frontlines of the caregiving movement, as they fight to give caregivers the same safety, security, and support they provide for so many others. Caregiving will reveal the state — and the stakes — of care in America, during an unprecedented moment in which there is an opportunity to transform our country’s caregiving system into one that works for us all.
Executive producer Bradley Cooper and the producers at Ark Media, Lea Pictures, and WETA bring you this timely documentary. Caregiving will personalize this urgent, nonpartisan, national issue through the stories of caregivers themselves, as well as through the voices of those working to address the care crisis.
Through intimate verité footage and interviews, the documentary follows a diverse group of caregivers, sharing their personal stories of challenge and triumph. Individuals like Jacquelyn Joyce Revere, a writer who was the full-time caregiver for both her mother and grandmother, who had dementia concurrently, and Carlos Olivas Jr., a Latino male caregiver for his veteran father.

Stream on pbs.org or through the PBS app available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and Vizio.
