DEMENTIA MAN - An Existential Journey

When the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease comes, he refuses to fade quietly. Dementia Man – An Existential Journey is an award-winning autobiographical story that peeks into the head and heart of the struggle with a broken medical system and a personal and family challenge. Is it possible to believe in a meaningful future with a neurocognitive disease?
