Many of you already share your advice, recommendations, and stories about caring for your loved ones in the AGIS Forums. WGBH in Boston wants your caregiving stories, too.

In conjunction with the April broadcast of “Caring for Your Parents,” an upcoming film by “Frontline” producer and award-winning filmmaker Michael Kirk, the public television station wants your 3-minute video story about caregiving in your family.

“Caring for Your Parents,” premiering April 2, focuses on the experiences of five American families caring for their aging parents. WGBH is looking for personal, provocative, and surprising caregiving stories. You can recount how caregiving has affected relationships between siblings, parents or spouses in your family. You might show the financial pressures your family is under now that you are caring for your parent. It’s your story, and your video should be as unique as the challenges you and your family face.

Selected stories will be part of the WGBH Lab, a confluence of broadcast and broadband programming. Your submission to this “Watch Over Me” Open Call should bring a personal dimension and fresh perspective to the caregiving responsibility. The WGBH Lab creative board will choose 10-20 films for Lab community members to review. The Lab community will select which stories to highlight during the “Caring for Your Parents” broadcast.

WGBH is accepting submissions through February 29. For more information on the “Watch Over Me” Open Call, visit the WGBH Open Call Web site.
