Join Us for a Special Event on Caregiving

NWPB, in collaboration with the Lewiston City Library, invites you to join us—in person or remotely—for a screening of the new PBS documentary, ‘Caregiving,’ followed by a panel discussion with area experts and advocates.

Inspired by executive director Bradley Cooper’s personal experience caring for his father during his battle with cancer, Caregiving explores the emotional and practical realities of caregiving through the stories of six diverse caregivers—from a teenager supporting his mother to a home health aide balancing work and family. Narrated by actress and former caregiver Uzo Aduba, ‘Caregiving’ shines a much-needed spotlight on the everyday heroes providing care in homes across America.

Following the film, local caregiving advocates and professionals will lead a panel discussion sharing insights, resources and answering audience questions. 

“There are only four kinds of people in the world—those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”
Rosalynn Carter
