When award-winning filmmaker Susie Singer Carter placed her mother, who was living with dementia, in a five-star nursing home in Los Angeles, she never expected to be dealing with substandard care, inadequate staffing, and chemical restraints. Horrified by what was happening, Susie connected with former federal prosecutor Rick Mountcastle, whose prosecution of Purdue Pharma was featured in the miniseries, Dopesick.
Susie and Rick have collaborated on a new documentary, No Country for Old People, to raise awareness about failures in our long-term care system and spur action to promote quality and accountability. On the eve of the release of the documentary, join a conversation with Susie and Rick about what they’ve learned in this process and what you can do to help change the system.
Guests: Susie Singer Carter, Writer and Director, and Rick Mountcastle, Former Federal Prosecutor
