When The Forgetting: A Portrait of Alzheimer’s first aired on PBS in 2004, over 10 million people tuned in to watch. Since then, there have been significant advances in Alzheimer’s research and over one million more Americans have developed the disease. KET presents a special encore of The Forgetting, followed by a brand-new program, The Future of Alzheimer’s with David Hyde Pierce, which features up-to-the-minute information on Alzheimer’s.

THE FORGETTING, A PORTRAIT OF ALZHEIMER’S
Much more than a television program, The Forgetting is a multi-faceted project aimed at helping people in direct ways. The Forgetting: A Portrait of Alzheimer’s is an in-depth look at the entire spectrum of the Alzheimer’s epidemic—the tragedy, the rising numbers, humankind’s fascination with dementia, and the worldwide effort to find a cure. The stories of three victims and their families bring the intense, real-world experience of Alzheimer’s disease poignantly to life and are woven together with the history and biology of the disease and the race to find a cure.
The Future of Alzheimer’s is a brand-new 30-minute follow-up special hosted by actor and Alzheimer’s champion David Hyde Pierce, who has experienced Alzheimer’s first-hand through the illness of his father and grandfather. Pierce moderates a panel of medical experts and scientists who discuss the latest developments in research, early diagnosis and treatment, and what it means for patients and their families. The program features up-to-the-minute information from the International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease held in July 2008.

In a new edition of One to One with Bill Goodman, Bill speaks with neurologist Dr. Gregory A. Jicha from the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky about the latest research on the causes and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

In addition, in the spring of 2004, KET produced Alzheimer’s in Kentucky, a 30-minute companion program that brought together local experts to discuss the many resources available for Kentucky patients and caregivers, the importance of early diagnosis, planning for legal eventualities, and the latest in national and local research.
