The Invisible Army Caregivers in KC

Stream 'Caregiving' Beginning May 27, 2025 on the PBS app

Local Town Hall at the Kansas City Plaza Library on June 10, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. 

Broadcast Premiere: June 24, 2025 on Kansas City PBS

Actor Bradley Cooper is known for his movies, The Hangover, American Sniper and A Star is Born.

He is less well known for his role as a full-time caregiver for his father.  Cooper is now partnering with PBS on a new film that tracks the "invisible, unpaid army" of Americans who look after aging or dependent loved ones.

In conjunction with the two-hour documentary, which premieres on June 26, Kansas City PBS lifts up the hood on the local caregiving crisis that's squeezing thousands of families.

Nick Haines leads a televised town hall at the Kansas City Plaza Library with caregivers and experts.

The Invisible Army: Caregivers in KC features selected clips from Cooper's new film and offers up valuable caregiving advice and tips, including where to get support and financial help.
