dOCUMENTARY FILM Synopsis

With honesty, tenderness, and yes, sometimes humor, Facing the Wind invites viewers into the lives of people with Lewy body dementia and their caregivers…a story of real people in real situations. Facing the Wind, a one-hour documentary film, reveals how a mutual support community can be an antidote to despair, letting people know they are not alone. We follow the journey, laughing and crying with them, while taking an unflinching look at dementia care with its overwhelming and isolating aspects. The struggle is real, but so is the love.
