"I REMEMBER BETTER WHEN I PAINT"
A Documentary Film About New Approaches
to Treating Alzheimer's Disease
[In Production]
- This film is revolutionary - the first ever to examine new ways of treating Alzheimer patients to improve their quality of life. Its educational impact will be useful worldwide.
- The film tells the story of an artist with Alzheimer's disease whose life in a nursing home was transformed when she worked with students from the Art Institute of Chicago.
- The film identifies programs worldwide (in the US, France, Jerusalem, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and elsewhere) and communicates the necessity of educating as many people as possible (patients, caregivers, and families) that alternatives to medicine and drugs for Alzheimer patients are being used successfully - and have shown positive results.
- Boston museums, the Art Institute in Chicago, and other museums interested in these cutting edge initiatives are collaborating in the project.
- Neurologists and others who are exploring new methods of treatment are also participating.
The film is being produced by the Hilgos Foundation and French Connection films. Tax-exempt contributions can be sent to the Hilgos Foundation at 406 Woodland Road, Highland Park, Illinois 60035.
