Alzheimer's goes to the Sundance Film Festival
Submitted by Wesley on January 22, 2007 - 11:20pm.
It starts out as a typical movie review...
But then it does something you don't see all that often. It discusses a plot line built on the onset of Alzheimer's disease. The movie is called "Away From Her" and is coming to the Sundance Film Festival. With over 4.5 million people having Alzheimer's and a baby boom fed epidemic on the horizon the more exposure Alzheimer's gets the better. Hollywood could do a lot to de-stigmatize the disease. The more that people discuss it openly the better. This is serious business. From the National Institute of Aging:
One thing for certain. Alzheimer's represents a pending epidemic as the baby boomer population bubble enters the high-risk age. This is more than just a problem for the aged as the costs and responsibility for elder care effect everyone. The sooner that this issue achieves the level of awareness necessary to combat it the better and it won't be the first time that the arts played a vital role in generating that awareness.
