Caren Miosga documentary on German caregiving

Overview

Journalist Caren Miosga has released a new ARD documentary titled ‘Und wer fragt nach mir?’, which examines the systemic pressures facing family caregivers in Germany. The film highlights the physical and mental exhaustion experienced by individuals caring for elderly relatives, such as Angelina Kusterer and Jürgen Mehl.

Miosga connects the documentary to her own personal experiences, noting that she previously avoided the topic of elder care until her 85-year-old parents required significant support. She describes the challenges her father faced in caring for her mother following health complications. The documentary aims to underscore a broader crisis in Germany, where a lack of professional nursing services and nursing home capacity forces an increasing number of people to rely on family members for care.
