Wine, Women, and Dementia

This compelling documentary tells the tale of dementia life through the lens of family caregivers who strive to accept the beauty and the brutality for themselves and their loved one. On a road trip around the U.S., family caregivers swap tales of  love, humor, devotion, and death over glasses of wine, and learn how to honor life along the long road to death.

About The Film

The world is grappling with a crisis as the baby boomers age into dementia. The United States is no exception with an estimated 16 million dementia family caregivers in the U.S. alone. Wine, Women, & Dementia provides an intimate look into the human side of dementia from the lens of the family caregiver. The documentary follows the journey of former dementia family caregiver and filmmaker, Kitty Norton, as she embarks on a cross-country RV adventure with her friend, Beth Rigazio, to meet the dementia family caregivers who provided virtual friendship and support through their shared caregiver experiences.
