Here's the first paragraph of the article.

TV news anchor Richard Lui’s second film, “Unconditional,” is personal. It follows half a dozen family caregivers as they navigate emotional and bureaucratic minefields. The film follows a diverse array of caregivers from all different backgrounds, across the United States. It also follows Lui himself, after his father received an Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2014. Lui’s father passed in 2021. He and his siblings are now caring for their mother.

I think it's going to speak to a lot of us.

    Lickety's film is on my list too. In fact, here's a very short interview with Lickety about her film. Definitely a 'must see'.

    Thanks for posting! From Lickety's interview: "Until there's a cure, there's community". Bam! This should be on a tee-shirt! This is our slogan! This is exactly what this message board is for us, a community of people brought together to do what we cannot do alone, until a cure comes along, if ever. Lickety, do you have merch?
