DETERMINED: FIGHTING ALZHEIMER’S
52' & 74’ | English Version | HD
Three women at high risk for Alzheimer’s disease offer their brains and body to a medical study. After the deaths of their mothers, these daughters are determined to contribute to the search for a cure. Meanwhile, they anxiously watch for signs of the disease in their own brains.
With nuance and tenderness, the film interweaves the scientists’ quest to find a cure with the personal ups and downs of these women’s lives. The intimate access to all of their stories reminds viewers that Alzheimer’s is a disease battled on many fronts: in a laboratory, in a home, in a marriage, in a mind, and in one’s hopes and fears about the future.

« But what lifts Determined: Fighting Alzheimer’s above the level of most science documentaries is the storytelling. The intimacy is powerful as if the families have invited us into their homes. »
