Alzheimer’s/Dementia

Have you ever walked into a room and wondered why you went there in the first place?

Movies cannot take away the challenges of Alzheimer’s, but they can help us see them more clearly. They remind us of the courage of elders, the sacrifices of caregivers, and the power of empathy.

Famous voices reach millions. When a well-known person speaks about Alzheimer’s — whether in an interview, a memoir, or a film — the topic moves from hushed talk to public conversation.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. As more people live longer, the number of individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s continues to rise. For families and caregivers, the journey is heartbreaking and challenging. But there’s hope. In 2025, scientists and doctors have made significant strides in understanding and treating this condition.
