If you follow celebs, it might feel like Hollywood is suddenly obsessed with caregiving 👀
Just this year we saw projects from Bradley Cooper, Seth Rogan and Chris Hemsworth about their experience with caregiving.
As millions more Americans step into caregiving roles each year, it makes sense that actors, creators, and families touched by Alzheimer’s and other dementias are turning their lived experiences into films, documentaries, and storytelling projects.
And honestly, we all benefit.
The more visibility we have into different caregiving realities, the more empathy, understanding, and compassion we can bring to our own journeys. These stories help us feel seen, better prepared, and less alone.
Here’s what’s on our watch/read list this season:
🎬 Caregiving by Bradley Cooper: A tender look at the emotional landscape of family care.
🎥 Taking Care by Seth Rogen: A documentary capturing the realities of supporting a loved one with dementia.
🏍️ A Road Trip to Remember by Chris Hemsworth: A father–son journey shaped by memory loss.
📚 The Unexpected Journey by Emma Heming Willis. An honest, generous book about loving and caring for a partner (Bruce Willis) through frontotemporal dementia.
If you’ve seen any of these projects, let us know what you think! You don't need to be a Hollywood star to tell your story. Every story deserves to be told. In what ways are you able to share your story too?
