Facing the Wind: Free movie showing at Savoy on Lewy body dementia

6:00pm-7:00pm Facing the Wind: Free movie showing at Savoy on Lewy body dementia

Linda and Carla each care for their beloved spouses who are living with Lewy body dementia. Eager to learn and share information with others, Linda starts a podcast with Curry, who has the disease, and a community of support groups begins to grow. Linda and Jim decide to go on an epic road trip, and Carla quits her job to devote her time to Patrick. As life becomes overwhelming, their online support group is a lifeline. Intimate, raw, and full of life, this moving portrait gracefully explores the stark realities of caregiving. Following the screening, Linda Szypula, a caregiver featured in the film, will take part in a live Q&A with the audience.
