Members of the Gathering Place, an early stage memory loss program, have been working on a very exciting project; a short documentary film, What We Want The World To Know. They discuss many of the complexities of living with memory loss in profound and inspiring ways, offer advice about how to live well, and speak to the challenges and joys of the human experience.
Hearing directly from people living with memory loss is both rare and necessary in our work to raise awareness, inspire hope, and actively create a stronger and more compassionate community. The Gathering Place has been operating for over five years and advocacy has always been an integral part of the program. We believe this film, with the members’ honest portrayals, helps diffuse the stigma associated with memory loss and dementia by bringing to light a more holistic and humanizing narrative.
Refreshments will be provided.
