Video: Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember’s EPs & Consultant

After learning of his father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, actor Chris Hemsworth vowed to spend more time with his dad and find ways to help him. In National Geographic’s Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember, the two embark on a road trip to revisit key places from their past, and, along the way, they discover research that demonstrates the importance of social connection—it can reduce the risk of dementia, slow cognitive decline and prolong life.

Now available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu, A Road Trip to Remember chronicles their journey across Australia and details the research that shows the value of social connection in protecting brain health.

Nutopia’s Jane Root and Arif Nurmohamed, executive producers of the title, sat down with TV Real Weekly to discuss how the documentary came about, how they handled the sensitive nature of the subject and their duty of care to those involved, especially Craig. Dr. Suraj Samtani, a clinical psychologist who consulted on the documentary, shares the latest research and talks about presenting that information to a general audience.
