CHRIS HEMSWORTH: A ROAD TRIP TO REMEMBER

In this intimate and uplifting documentary, Chris Hemsworth turns the spotlight away from himself and toward his father, Craig, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Determined to help, Chris designs a therapeutic "road trip back in time," revisiting key places from their past to explore the powerful science of social connection - a crucial but overlooked tool in protecting brain health. Along the way, Chris uncovers surprising research showing that connection isn't just good for the soul; it can also reduce the risk of dementia, slow cognitive decline, and even prolong life. This emotional journey across Australia becomes a chance for Chris and Craig to deepen their bond, relive memories, and discover how love, community and nostalgia can be potent medicine.

The one-hour documentary is from Academy Award-nominated Filmmaker Darren Aronofsky's Protozoa, Jane Root's Nutopia, and Chris Hemsworth and Ben Grayson's Wild State.
