As part of Detroit PBS’ yearlong caregiving initiative, the station, in partnership with the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, the Asian American Journalists Association – Michigan Chapter, and Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation recently hosted an evening of film, conversation and community. The event was a co-presentation with POV.
Detroit PBS screened the documentary “Wisdom Gone Wild.” The documentary is about a daughter’s journey caring for her Japanese American mother who was diagnosed with dementia. One Detroit’s Bill Kubota sat down with “Wisdom Gone Wild” director Rea Tajiri about why it was important to tell the story of being a caregiver to her mother, Rose.
After the screening, Kubota also moderated a panel discussion with the filmmaker along with three local experts on caregiving and dementia health: Peggy Du, executive director of the Association of Chinese Americans, Shaista Kazmi, client and patient care coordinator for Sukoon Care, and Dr. Tanav Popli, Clinical Asst. Professor in the department of neurology at the University of Michigan.
