44 million Americans provide unpaid caregiving for a family member (AARP, 2020). While rewarding at times, caring for a loved one can be an isolating experience and take an emotional and physical toll on the caregiver. Farmington Station is hosting this unique documentary film series to shine a light on the crucial yet often invisible work these caregivers provide.
This film series is open to the public and FREE to attend. RSVP is required for each screening as space is limited.
