"The Forgetting: A Portrait of Alzheimer's" is aimed at helping Americans better understand and cope with this fearsome disease. The centerpiece of the two-hour special is a 90-minute documentary - a dramatic, compassionate, all-encompassing look at Alzheimer's that weaves together the history and biology of the disease, the intense real-world experiences of Alzheimer's patients and caregivers, and the race to find a cure. "The Forgetting" will reach out to all Americans concerned about Alzheimer's - providing broader awareness and understanding of the disease and offering immediate, practical support to families and caregivers. An informative, customizable half-hour show, "Alzheimer's: The Help You Need," will follow the documentary and lead viewers to local and national experts and resources.
