PREMIERING TUESDAY, JUNE 24 AT 8 PM 

CAREGIVING, a documentary created with executive producer Bradley Cooper highlighting the challenges and triumphs of caregiving in America, will air on Alabama Public Television Tuesday, June 24 at 8 p.m. 

The two-hour documentary is centered on the personal experience of caregivers providing for loved ones, and the challenges and triumphs they face each day. These stories are interwoven with the broader context of the cultural and economic conditions in the U.S., leading to a care system tipping into crisis. CAREGIVING examines the historical and contemporary efforts to address this often unrecognized and rapidly increasing need. 

“The caregiving experience I had with my father inspired this documentary. During his battle with lung cancer, I came face to face with the overwhelming realities of taking care of a loved one,” said Bradley Cooper, actor, producer, director and caregiver. “I was lucky enough that I was able to be there for my Dad. And I certainly benefited from the help we also got from others. Caregivers are heroic people. Their ability to focus and give all of themselves is something I stand in awe of. I came to appreciate how we need to care for caregivers better. It is my hope that CAREGIVING will provide affirmation and support for those who do this profoundly meaningful and increasingly vital work.” 

You can watch CAREGIVING on Alabama Public Television on Tuesday, June 24 at 8 p.m. or on PBS.org and the PBS App starting on Tuesday, May 27.
