Forgetful Not Forgotten

Forgetful Not Forgotten A documentary by Chris Wynn In 1999, at the young age of fifty-seven, my father became one of the nearly 100,000 Canadians diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Forgetful Not Forgotten is our family’s story. Having watched and recorded my father from the day he was diagnosed I know how horrific a disease it is. Alzheimer’s destroys the brains ability to remember. At first it may simply be a forgotten name or place. But eventually the brain forgets to tell the body how to function and death quickly follows. My Dad is a great guy and I know he and I are a lot alike. I just hope we don’t share the disease. Having spent so much time with my father, I’m not sure if I’m just “worried well” or if my concerns are founded. So now, at the age of thirty-seven, I question every time I misspell a word or forget someone’s name. When I started to record my Dad’s struggle with the disease we were father and son as time went on we became best friends. Forgetful Not Forgotten intertwines the development of our relationship with my search for answers about my own health.
