Alzheimer's Disease: Facing The Facts
Documentary illustrates a host of challenges facing scientists and researchers working to find a cure
Aired Tuesday, 11/3 at 10 p.m. on CPTV
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and fatal brain disease that destroys one's memory and identity. It can easily deplete a lifetime of savings in long-term health care costs, and leave caregiving families emotionally, physically and often, financially exhausted. ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE: FACING THE FACTS examines the personal and societal implications of the illness, while reviewing the latest research as scientists search for a cure. Through profiles of families living with Alzheimer's and interviews with doctors and researchers, the documentary studies how this overlooked disease threatens to bankrupt the American health system, economy and spirit.
