About this work
Description
This film is a portrait of Lee Gorewitz, a resident in the Alzheimer’s ward at the Reutlinger Community for Jewish Living in Danville, California. From the moment she wakes up, Lee is on a quest for something that she can neither articulate nor comprehend; reminders of her past identity. A total immersion into the fragmented day-to-day experience of Alzheimer’s disease, this is the first documentary to be filmed exclusively in an Alzheimer’s care unit and told from the perspective of someone suffering from the disease. With no narration, the cameras follow Lee as she wanders through her unit, interacting with staff, other residents and the filmmakers.
