Award-winning director, Deirdre Fishel, follows two women, Linda Szypula and Carla Preyer, as they care for their loved ones suffering from Lewy Body dementia, the same condition as Robin Williams suffered from towards the end of his life. The women bond together through their shared experiences of heartache with dignity and grace as we witness the stark realities of caregiving.

Director Deirdre Fishel will be joining us in person for a Q&A moderated by Cindy Morris (consultant who works in the field of aging), following the screening.
