PREMIERES ON MONDAY,  MAY 7 AT 9 PM 

The final documentary in a three-part series focusing on neurodegenerative diseases, MATTER OF MIND: MY ALZHEIMER'S will premiere on May 5 on INDEPENDENT LENS. From award-winning codirectors Anna Moot-Levin and Laura Green (“The Providers”), the intimate documentary presents three poignant stories about how family dynamics change when a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. 

Nearly 7 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and family and friends of those living with dementia provide 18 billion hours of unpaid care each year.

INDEPENDENT LENS: Matter of Mind - My Alzheimer’s

MATTER OF MIND: MY ALZHEIMER’S follows three families and the unique challenges of their loved ones' diagnoses, delving into their lived experiences. Going beyond the statistics, the film explores how this disease impacts identities and roles in relationships—when one partner becomes a caregiver or how both parent and child are transformed when the traditional role of provider is reversed. 

Watch MATTER OF MIND: MY ALZHEIMER’S on INDEPENDENT LENS on Alabama Public Television on Monday, May 7 at 9 p.m.
