Alzheimer's Disease - The Journey Within
1995, color, 20 minutes, DVD or VHS

Presented on PBS, this video takes the viewer through a daughter's deepest feelings, written in a journal, as she watches her mother go through the beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease, and shows how those feelings eventually lead her to experience a profound change within herself.

Alzheimer's Disease - The Journey Within is unique in many ways: in its rich symbolism and beautiful imagery . . . in its positive message that Alzheimer's disease is not an end, but a beginning . . . and in its primary intended audience: family members in the beginning stages of care giving, who need to know, perhaps more than any other group, that they are not alone.
