2025 NOMINEE – BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE

MATTER OF MIND: MY ALZHEIMER’S is the final film in a series of three documentaries, each focusing on a different neurodegenerative disease. The documentary follows three families as they confront the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. The film explores how the disease impacts identities and relationships – when one partner becomes a caregiver or how both parent and child are transformed when the traditional role of provider is reversed. These participants remain anchored by profound and loving bonds amidst financial, logistical, and emotional obstacles.
