Tue. September 24 6:00-7:30 pm Movie: Too Soon to Forget Most people think Alzheimer’s is a disease that only affects older adults, but that’s not always true. Living with younger onset Alzheimer’s can be a lonely and isolating experience and although there are many resources available for those with Alzheimer’s, very little information is available for those affected by this form of the disease. Too Soon to Forget: The Journey of Younger Onset Alzheimer’s Disease takes an in-depth look at the particulars of this disease, and provides information to help understand and educate viewers about the effects and its impact. The hour-long documentary features nine families from a variety of backgrounds who share their stories and common experiences from loneliness and isolation, to the adjustments, and finally, to the healing power of community. Documentary presentation will be followed by time for questions.

Made possible by Dementia Friendly Duluth and the Victory Fund.
