This new short film, part of David Shenk’s Living with Alzheimer’s project, introduces us to longtime Cape Cod resident Greg O’Brien, a reporter and newspaperman who loves the grit and rigor involved in sleuthing out a great story. O’Brien has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. He refuses to abandon the fulfilling work he’s dedicated his life to, and so with the support of his family, he grapples with the disease by throwing himself into his writing and starts work on a book detailing his personal experiences and frustrations. In refusing to hide his illness or relinquish his hope, O’Brien courageously leans forward into the future with inspiring dignity and determination.  ST
