National Geographic has unveiled its most heartfelt special yet: Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember, a deeply personal documentary that follows global movie star Chris Hemsworth on an emotional motorcycle journey across Australia with his father, Craig Hemsworth, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. This one-hour special premieres November 23 at 9/8c on National Geographic and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
Unlike the adrenaline-fueled challenges of LIMITLESS, this documentary shifts focus to something far more intimate—family, memory, and the science of connection. Guided by dementia specialist Dr. Suraj Samtani, Chris and Craig explore how social interaction, nostalgia, and community engagement can protect brain health and slow cognitive decline. Their road trip becomes a living example of reminiscence therapy, as they revisit places from their past—from suburban Melbourne to the wild Northern Territories—rekindling memories and strengthening their bond.
Produced by Darren Aronofsky’s Protozoa, Jane Root’s Nutopia, and Hemsworth’s own Wild State, the film is a masterclass in emotional storytelling. Chris even films parts of the journey himself, offering viewers an unfiltered look at the love between father and son. The documentary is a reminder that even in the face of Alzheimer’s, joy, laughter, and shared experience can be powerful medicine.
With executive producers including Ben Grayson, Brandon Hill, and a team of award-winning creatives, Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember documentary is more than a film—it’s a movement toward empathy, awareness, and healing. It’s a must-watch for anyone touched by dementia, and for those who believe in the transformative power of love.
