The Alzheimer's Project
The Alzheimer's Project is a 4-part documentary and multi-media public health series co-presented by HBO and the National Institute on Aging. The Emmy Award winning documentaries, along with 15 additional short films and many other resources are available online, without charge. The series looks at groundbreaking scientific discoveries and seeks to bring a wider public understanding of Alzheimer's disease research and care.
The Project is centered on four documentary films - on science and research, children touched by Alzheimer’s, and people with the disease and their caregivers.
Two of the films received 2009 Creative Arts Emmy Awards. "Grandpa, Do You Know Who I Am?" won the Outstanding Children’s Non-fiction Program Award and "The Memory Loss Tapes" won the Exceptional Merit in Non-fiction Filmmaking Award. The Alzheimer’s Project also received the Television Critics Award for Outstanding Achievement in News and Information.
