Quick Look at Alzheimer's: Four Pocket Films - Film Four These four very-short films aim to increase understanding of Alzheimer's disease. We call them"pocket" films because of their brevity and portability; they are designed to be viewed anywhere at anytime: a doctor's office, a Congressional hallway, a family living room. Anywhere a person can ask questions about Alzheimer's disease, here are some answers. These films were made by David Shenk in partnership with the Alliance for Aging Research. They were made possible by a grant through the Metlife foundation.
