Alzheimers Otago will host a screening of powerful advocacy film Human Forever on World Dementia Day, September 21, as part of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.
The fundraising film screening, in association with the Otago Neuroscience Students Association and Brainstem Otago will be held from 6pm in the Castle 2 lecture theatre on campus.
The film follows 24 year-old Dutch carer Teun Toebes as he and film-maker Jonathan de Jong journey through 11 countries to uncover how dementia is approached worldwide and see what can be learned to create a more inclusive future. The film is in Dutch with English subtitles.
All funds raised through tickets will go to Alzheimers Otago to help in their work, which includes supporting local families living with dementia, education programmes and support groups.
Tickets are available via Humanitix.
Also on September 21, a podcast created by Alzheimers Otago manager Antoinette McLean titled Still me — life with dementia will go live for 10 episodes on OAR FM.
