More than 57 million people around the world are living with dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease the most common cause — a powerful reminder that nearly all of us are touched by it in some way.
Determined to help his father, Craig, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, 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.
