Award-winning global executive and author Christina DiArcangelo has released the official book trailer for "Rescuing Mom," a gripping narrative that confronts elder abuse, caregiving silence, mental health, and systemic failures within the justice system. More than a memoir, the book is a call to action challenging society to address how families, institutions, and systems fail the most vulnerable, and what it takes to stand up when the truth is inconvenient.

Why it matters

As societies grapple with aging populations, mental health crises, and eroding trust in institutions, "Rescuing Mom" arrives at a pivotal moment, inviting leaders and audiences to ask uncomfortable but necessary questions about who protects the vulnerable when systems fail and what real accountability looks like.

The details

With its intersection of human rights, elder abuse prevention, mental health, justice, and accountability, "Rescuing Mom" has quickly emerged as a story uniquely positioned for TEDx stages, global speaking forums, and long-form documentary storytelling.

What they’re saying

“This story isn't just about my mother. It's about criminals who prey on elders, families forced to navigate trauma alone, and systems that choose silence over responsibility. Rescuing Mom exists so that silence is no longer the default—and so there is real accountability for those who commit these crimes.”

— Christina DiArcangelo, Author
