S1.E3 ∙ Live Another Day

I Am a Caregiver is a documentary feature about the challenges, needs, and fragility of family caregivers. When a nursing home or other facility is not an option- or the answer, the sacrifice is often made to care for a loved one first-hand. It is more than a notion, and it is less than ideal. Film creator and writer Kathy O. Lofton takes a private glimpse into the lives of a few people, who each share their diverse perspectives and experiences as it relates to seeing after a loved one in the home. The dialogue is relevant to the national conversation on growing older, living longer and how income and access affect quality of life. Finally, it indirectly alludes to weaknesses in healthcare policy and employment conflict for caregivers. Most Americans are not prepared financially, or perhaps even emotionally, to care long-term for an infirmed loved one. Let alone are most Americans ready to be cared for. The film begs the question, "Who will dance with you and your loved ones when the proverbial music stops, and how well?" It might not apply to you today, but it could happen to you tomorrow.

Filmmaker Kate Kline May began teaching drama as a volunteer in her own children's ethnically diverse public elementary school in 1991. Working with fourth through sixth graders and their teachers, May created a unique in-class performing arts program. The program attracted national attention, gaining continued funding and more than 1,000 students in four years. This documentary captures scenes from 10 weeks in two classes of the Shakespeare Project at Malcolm X Public School in Berkeley during preparation for a performance of Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream." Diverse in age and ethnic background and coming in many cases from troubled homes and neighborhoods, the student performers put aside their differences and problems, finding their own lives reflected in Shakespeare's timeless themes.
