WVIA-TV will also offer a preview screening of “Caregiving,” from executive producer Bradley Cooper. The documentary is the story of paid and unpaid caregivers navigating the challenges and joys of this deeply meaningful work. The film interweaves personal stories with historical context.
Following the screening, caregivers will be invited to share their story or tribute to a family member or friend who provided care. More information on the film is available at www.wvia.org/caregiving.
