Short Films on Alzheimer's

David Shenk, author of The Forgetting, in collaboration with the Alliance for Aging Research has developed 4 very short, powerful “pocket” films to increase understanding of Alzheimer's disease. They are called "pocket" films because of their brevity and portability; and are designed to be viewed anywhere at anytime.

The topics of the four films are:
1) What is Alzheimer’s disease
2) An Urgent Epidemic
3) The Race to the Cure
4) A message for Patients and their Families

Here is the first of the 4 films, "What is Alzheimer's disease?", which gives the basics on the disease with a powerful illustration of how the brain is affected. Simply select play in the box.

Here is the link to view all the films: http://www.aboutalz.org/
