As the population ages, many adult children are grappling with an unprecedented social, cultural, economic, and personal revolution as they become the primary caregivers for their aging parents. This documentary draws much-needed attention to this widespread reality. Through an intimate look at five Providence, Rhode Island, families, the first 90 minutes of the special underscore today's struggle to keep parents at home, the tensions between siblings, and the complexity of shifting caregiver roles.

Immediately following the 90-minute broadcast, former NBC medical correspondent Dr. Art Ulene leads "A Conversation About Caring," a half-hour panel discussion that offers concrete advice and guidance on how to start the conversation - often the most difficult step in caregiving.
