Watch this critical 1-hour video documentary called “The Graying in Hawaii” by Marc DeLorme and Audrey Kubota. This was a production that required over 2 years to create. It was broadcast on PBS-Hawaii in June 2009. Documentary
Part 1 – The Long-term Care Crisis in Hawaii
This part investigates Hawaii’s long-term care crisis, elder care and the pressure that is put on informal caregivers. The controversial practice of shipping “inconvenient” patients to the U.S. mainland is also explored.
