TV Special on Alzheimer's

HBO is airing a multi-platform series on Alzheimer's beginning May 10 (check local listings). With the mission to increase money and research to find a cure, HBO will attempt to persuade viewers via 24 documentaries, 15 short films, a book, a website (www.HBO.com/alzheimers) and even a community outreach program. Maria Shriver, the executive producer of "The Alzheimer's Project," argues that Alzheimer's is an epidemic and the cost of not finding a cure is dramatic. The show also looks at the science aspect of Alzheimer's, by investigating 25 leading researchers and physicians and their respective labs and clinics, as well as, discussing some of the 90 different clinical trials that offer hope to Alzheimer sufferers.
