Guest: Chris Durrance on America's Care Crisis and How It Affects Caregivers

Chris Durrance is a documentary filmmaker, who is director of the recently premiered PBS series Caregiving. He has also directed two major PBS series on science and medicine: Cancer - The Emperor of All Maladies and The Gene.  He is the winner of a Peabody Award, two Emmys, a DuPont-Columbia Silver Baton and an OverseasPress Club Award.

Caregiving gives an intimate view into what family members go through when they take on the role of being a family caregiver for a loved one. 

Chris's unvarnished portrayal of the physical, emotional and financial toll being a family caregiver can have on an individual and family, delivers a critical message...those delivering personal and unselfish care are themselves in great need of care and meaningful support to avoid their own health crisis.  

Caregiving can be seen on local PBS stations and can currently be streamed on PBS.org.  In addition to the documentary Caregiving, Chris also directed 

18 short films addressing a range of important caregiving topics and issues.
