DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

His films like 'Shoplifters' and 'After the Storm' intimately explore family bonds, intergenerational care, and the sacrifices people make for loved ones.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

His socially conscious films such as 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Sorry We Missed You' examine caregiving responsibilities and how systems fail those dependent on care.

 Agnès Varda France

Her humanistic documentaries and narrative films, including 'Vagabond' and 'Jacquot de Nantes,' tenderly portray vulnerability, interdependence, and informal networks of care.
