Caring Committee Film Screening: Facing the Wind
Family caregivers are often the unsung heroes of a family member’s long journey through illnesses. The challenges faced by family caregivers are often hidden from view, and many of us are not aware of the reality faced by the 40 million family caregivers in the US alone until the role descends upon us. The SAJ Caring Committee and congregant Pamela Rosenblum are pleased to offer a screening of a recent documentary which offers a moving glimpse into the journey of two caregivers as they navigate their husbands’ illnesses. Facing the Wind is a love story about people with Lewy body dementia, the spouses who care for them, and the community they create for themselves to find sustenance and support.
This film recently debuted at a private showing at Lincoln Center for the Lewy Body Dementia Resource Center and at NYC Docs, the largest documentary film festival in the US. Following the screening there will be a Q&A with Pamela Rosenblum, who is on the Advisory Board of the Lewy body Dementia Resource Center and Deirdre Fishel, the film’s director.
