You're Looking at Me Like I Live Here and I Don't
In this film directed by Scott Kirschenbaum, a woman in the middle stages of Alzheimer’s disease seeks acceptance among fellow residents at the Traditions Alzheimer’s & Other Dementia Care Unit as she fights against the forces of a past she cannot remember, wandering day after day on a soul-searching odyssey through her Alzheimer’s care unit. Confined by the limits of her physical boundaries, she scavenges for reminders of her old identity in the outside world.
