In the tradition of its Emmy®-winning Addiction project in 2007, HBO will use all of its digital platforms to support a multi-part campaign focusing on Alzheimer's disease: its causes, symptoms, treatment and possible cures. Collectively titled The Alzheimer's Project, the initiative includes four HBO documentaries premiering from May 10-12; 15 short supplemental films; a companion book; a robust hbo.com website; and a nationwide community-based outreach campaign.

I was wondering if anyone connected with the making of this series reads posts in this forum? If they don't, maybe our host Jaydes could tell them about what I'm going to post here.
I am a member of the Alzheimer's Association board and thought other might be interested in hearing what the members on that forum are saying about this series.

I hope this will encourage people to find out more about Alzheimer's Disease and how it effects the people who have it.

I was so touched by Part 1. In a word, it demonstrated what true love is between friends, spouses, & family members. I have always wondered if we have mislabeled so many of our elderly has having alzheimers though. "Back in the day", we said so & so was "senile" or " forgetful". It was encouraging to see that not all of our elderly wind up in a nursing home, (I know there are some good ones)., they can stay at home with their loved ones & receive good medical care too.
