Caregiver: A Love Story
Caregiver: A Love Story is the story of one man struggling to care for his dying wife. When 59-year-old Bambi decides to forego further treatment for her cancer and die at home, her husband Rick leaves his job to become her primary caregiver with no experience and little support.
This film highlights an essential, yet invisible workforce—the family caregivers of America—and shows the growing strain placed on them. The film won Best Documentary Short at the 2020 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival.
Good Docs, our educational distributor, has streamed Caregiver at a variety of schools, libraries, and other organizations. To bring Jessica to your organization to speak, either live or virtually, book an appearance.
Extremis
Directed by Emmy and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Dan Krauss, Extremis is a verité documentary exploring the harrowing decisions facing patients, families and physicians in urgent end-of-life cases.
As it follows Dr. Jessica Zitter and her team in the intensive care unit of a public hospital in Oakland, California, the extraordinary access granted in this 24-minute film offers a uniquely intimate look at the intersection of science, faith, and humanity.
Extremis was nominated for an Academy Award and two Emmys in 2017.
