The Alzheimer's research community collaborated with HBO, seeking to raise new awareness and understanding of this devastating disease in a series of films now available free of charge online. They have a compelling story to tell of scientific discovery, of research advances and challenges, and of the human faces behind the disease.
The first of the four documentaries in THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT is "The Memory Loss Tapes", which provides an up-close and personal look at seven individuals living with Alzheimer's, across the full spectrum of the progression of the disease.
"Momentum In Science" is a two-part state-of-the-science film that takes viewers inside the laboratories and clinics of 25 leading scientists and physicians, revealing some of the most cutting-edge research advances.
Alzheimer's Disease effects the entire family and extended family... even grandchildren and great-grandchildren. "Grandpa, Do You Know Who I Am?" captures what it means to be a child or grandchild of one with Alzheimer's, while "Caregivers" highlights the sacrifices and successes of people who experience their loved one's descent into dementia.
THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT is a presentation of HBO Documentary Films and the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health in association with the Alzheimer's Association®, Fidelity® Charitable Gift Fund, and Geoffrey Beene Gives Back® Alzheimer's Initiative. The series' producer is John Hoffman; the executive producers are Sheila Nevins and Maria Shriver.
As part of THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT, 15 supplemental films provide an in-depth look into the scientific advances being made in research and medical understanding of the disease.
I am sure you will find these documentaries worth your time.
