PBS will broadcast a programming focused on Alzheimer’s disease on Sunday, August 3 starting at 9:00 PM ET. PBS’s programming starts with a national encore broadcast of the Emmy-Award-winning THE FORGETTING: A Portrait of Alzheimer’s, followed by a new half-hour discussion, The Future of Alzheimer’s, moderated by actor and Alzheimer’s champion David Hyde Pierce, which features a panel of medical experts and scientists discussing the latest developments in Alzheimer’s. Together, the programs approach the subject of Alzheimer’s in a unique manner, balancing the scientific quest to eradicate Alzheimer’s disease with heartfelt, first-hand stories of families whose lives have been ravaged by it.
