Four ‘Pocket’ Films To Increase Understanding of a 21^st Century Epidemic
A Quick Look At Alzheimer's

These four very-short films aim to increase understanding of Alzheimer's disease. We call them "pocket" films because of their brevity and portability; they are designed to be viewed anywhere at anytime: a doctor's office, a Congressional hallway, a family living room. Anywhere a person can ask questions about Alzheimer's disease, here are some answers.

DAVID SHENK (writer, director) is author of The Forgetting and a frequent Alzheimer's lecturer.
JOSSIE MALIS (animator) is a filmmaker and illustrator living in Barcelona.
DAVID HYDE PIERCE (narrator) is an actor and spokesperson for the Alzheimer's Association.
Music by KREIDLER.
Advisory Board: Naomi S. Boak, Steven T. DeKosky, M.D. Geri R. Hall, Ph.D., Rudolph E. Tanzi, Ph.D
