The documentary that aims to change the way America thinks about Alzheimer's disease.

HBO's "THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT" takes a look at the faces behind the disease - and the forces leading us to find a cure. The series featuring a four-part documentary series, 17 short supplemental films, a companion book, a Web site and a nationwide community-based grassroots outreach campaign reveals groundbreaking Alzheimer discoveries and the effects this debilitating and fatal disease has on those with Alzheimer's and their families.

As the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research, the Alzheimer's Association has been an active partner in “THE ALZHEIMER’S PROJECT,” providing expert insight and leading community engagement.

The first of the four documentaries in "The Alzheimer's Project" is "The Memory Loss Tapes," which provides an up-close and personal look at seven individuals living with Alzheimer's, each in an advancing state of dementia across the full spectrum of the progression of the disease.

"Momentum In Science, Part 1" and "Momentum In Science, Part 2" is a state-of-the-science report that takes viewers inside the laboratories and clinics of 24 leading scientists and physicians, revealing some of the most cutting-edge research advances.

"'Grandpa, Do You Know Who I Am?' With Maria Shriver" captures what it means to be a child or grandchild of a person with Alzheimer's, while "Caregivers" highlights the sacrifices and successes of people who experience their loved ones' gradual descent into dementia.<
