 Alzheimer’s disease may be affecting as many as five million Americans—and as the Baby Boomer generation moves through retirement, that number could more than double. While there is not yet a cure for this disease—more feared than any other except cancer—this four-part series shows there is now genuine reason to be optimistic about controlling and, eventually, eliminating it. The series also takes a humane but honest look at the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s on patients and those who love them. Viewable/printable discussion guides are available online. An HBO Production. 4-part series, 31-120 minutes each.
