The Forgetting

The Forgetting: A Portrait of Alzheimer's is an Emmy award-winning documentary that takes a dramatic and compassionate look at Alzheimer’s disease, based David Shenk's best-selling book, The Forgetting.

The Forgetting premiered on PBS in January 2004 and was rebroadcast in August 2008 with The Future of Alzheimer's—a half-hour panel discussion hosted by David Hyde Pierce.

Pierce and a panel of Alzheimer's experts explain and contextualize the latest scientific findings, emphasize the importance in addressing and treating Alzheimer's within ethnic and racial minorities, and discuss the future of Alzheimer's research and treatment.
