Wisdom Gone Wild

Season 36 Episode 3613 | 1hr 10m 50s

A vibrant tender cine-poem, a filmmaker collaborates with her Nisei mother as they confront the painful curious reality of wisdom ‘gone wild’ in the shadows of dementia. Made over 16 years, the film blends humor and sadness in an encounter between mother and daughter that blooms into an affectionate portrait of love, care, and a relationship transformed.

Aired: 11/19/23 | Expires: 01/19/24
