“Caregiver and Care Recipient: A Body Committed from the Heart”

Screening of a photographic and audio documentary produced by the Montpellier-based organizationNos mémoires vives, followed by a discussion.

This 30-minute documentary, filmed in the Grand Pic Saint Loup region, explores intimate and unique relationships in which kindness, bitterness, selflessness, exhaustion, opportunities, constraints, guilt, and love intertwine… Nine caregivers and seven of their loved ones—mother-son or mother-daughter pairs, husband-wife pairs, or same-sex couples—share their stories and offer a candid and sensitive glimpse into their daily lives.

How does one become a caregiver? What is it like to be the person receiving care? How does the special relationship between the caregiver and the care recipient change as dependency increases?

 There are 11 million caregivers in France. By 2030, one in four working adults will be a caregiver.

 Starring:

• Pauline Orain, filmmaker and co-founder of the nonprofit organizationNos mémoires vives;
• Aurore Millet, a neuropsychologist with France Alzheimer;
• and one of the protagonists of the documentary
