My Mama Joe, Hope & Help

My Mama Joe
  Hope & Help

Houston Info .png

Our central character endured a traumatic childhood to emerge as advocate for the abused, hurting and hungry. JoeAnna birthed 4 children, adopted 6 more, and served as unofficial mother to countless others earning her the moniker “Mama Joe.” As champion for community and volunteerism, her years of service positively impacted thousands, garnering recognition from the local mayor to the White House.

A seeming unlikely candidate for chronic illness, Mama Joe was diagnosed in 2015 with Alzheimer’s dementia. The film's story arc contrasts her distinguished record of serving others, with her need for full time compassionate care. Though not an exhaustive portrait, we’re allowed access into a portion of Mama Joe’s world, giving us an authentic glimpse of the highs and lows associated with care for a loved one.

 

Interwoven are appearances from professionals in healthcare, education, research, financial services, senior living and other industries.  With a goal to educate, highlight resources and inspire hope, the film will have a local broadcast debut on WSIU PBS 8 February 5th at 9pm. Check local listings for when a broadcast is available in your area, or stream online at PBS.org or from the PBS app.
