Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember (AU-US)
In this intimate and uplifting documentary, actor Chris Hemsworth (“Avengers” and “Thor” films) turns the spotlight toward his father, Craig, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Determined to help, 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.
Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember premieres in the US on Sunday, November 23, on National Geographic, with streaming available on Disney+ and Hulu starting November 14.
