Unfortunately, as a person who deals with Alzheimer's every day of my life and one who knows all too well that the faces of real life persons afflicted by this disorder are often very much like the images represented by the film makers in this case, I ask myself "why are we so afraid of to confront the reality of what is?" While I am extremely compassionate of my clients and can understand the behaviors of my former nursing home residents and some of our clients who are in declining stages of this disorder, I feel we need to see the face of Alzheimer's as it really is (or can be) because there are too many adult family members who are in complete denial of what is happening to mom or dad as they fly back to the safety net of their homes and we are left to pick up the pieces on a daily basis. See a clip of this film for yourself and leave your comment.
