Join us at FilmScene to view the film Away From Her, followed by a panel discussion and question and Answer session. This event is "pay as you wish" and open to everyone. This film is about a married couple, Fiona (Julie Christie) and Grant (Gordon Pinsent) as they find their mutual devotion tested by her struggle with Alzheimer's disease. When it becomes apparent that the condition is worsening, she checks into a rest home. Grant visits her a month later and finds that his wife has grown close to Aubrey (Michael Murphy), a fellow resident. Jealous and hurt, Grant finally seeks help from Aubrey's wife (Olympia Dukakis) when Fiona suffers a crisis. Panelists will share local research on dementia and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and the issues of caregiving for those living with AD and other dementias.
