Never before has a documentary sought to unveil "what it feels like" to have the disease. Equally important, this original program uncovers some of the latest findings in the search for answers and a cure. Highlights include the groundbreaking work underway at BRNI. Scientists there believe they have discovered a biomarker for early detection of Alzheimer's and are especially excited about a test drug that appears to have the remarkable power to not only treat damaged neurons but regenerate growth.
