HBO’S THE ALZHEIMER’S PROJECT

By  | 

Alzheimer’s disease is something that has hit close to home for me, and when I heard about this project, I knew I wanted to do everything I could to help spread the word about it, and to get people watching.

More than 54% of the U.S population has been touched by someone who has Alzheimer’s, one of the most devastating forms of memory loss. As many as five million Americans may have Alzheimer’s and as the baby-boom generation reaches retirement, that number could soar to more than 11 million.

HBO’s THE ALZHEIMER’S PROJECT is a multi-platform event which takes a close look at groundbreaking discoveries made by the country’s leading scientists, as well as the effects of this debilitating and fatal disease on those with Alzheimer’s and their families. Aiming to bring a new understanding and hope, THE ALZHEIMER’S PROJECT features a four-part documentary series, 15 short supplemental films, a companion book, a robust website and a nationwide outreach campaign. In addition, all films will stream on hbo.com and will be offered for free on multiple platforms by participating television service providers. The series debuts May 10 on HBO.
