Join Missoula Aging Services and Dementia Friendly Missoula for this free screening, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A. All are welcome for reflection, conversation, and a deeper understanding of living with dementia.
Life changes when Charlie, a 57-year-old talented graphic designer, father, and charismatic community leader, discovers that his recent fogginess is due to Early-Onset Alzheimer’s disease. His wife of 30 years Heidi Levitt is determined to better understand the disease, learn how to live their best life with it, forge a new path forward and document every step along the journey. Over the course of four years, what she captures as they crisscross the country is a testament to the strength, resilience, and humor of the human spirit. While Charlie’s cognitive facilities diminish, his charm, warmth and appeal take center stage, illuminating what might otherwise have been a dark journey into a story of love and a reminder that life is really about our relationships.
"In Walk With Me, Heidi Levitt does something radical. There are no swelling arcs, no tidy awakenings, no promises of redemption. Instead, the film about her husband’s diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s lingers with what most narratives avoid: care as a daily practice, grief without a finish line, love without guarantees."
