In this 8min documentary we follow a husband over the course of 4 years, looking after his wife who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 61 in 2009.
The biggest thing I took from this documentary is how Alzheimer’s patients act in their day to day life, the way they move when they start fading away faster and faster – shuffling, and clutching onto anything near them to keep balance if they are old – and how their loved ones react, scared of the smile of recognition disappearing one day, counting their blessings. We could integrate these facts about Alzheimer’s with our film by telling our actors how hard hit their character should be feeling.
