Monster in the Mind
MONSTER IN THE MIND is a feature length documentary that investigates the untold truth behind the world's most feared disease - Alzheimer's Disease.
Upon discovering that she is at high risk of developing Alzheimer’s herself, filmmaker Jean Carper, medical journalist and bestselling author of Your Miracle Brain, embarks on a journey to face her fears and to find out all she can about the condition. What she uncovers is the astonishing story of a disease shrouded in mystery and branded with an outsized sense of doom and fear reminiscent of the most sensational science fiction, horror, and disaster movies.
Featuring interviews with leading researchers, MONSTER IN THE MIND offers an unprecedented look at the truth and fiction of Alzheimer's, its origins, the failed searches for a solution, and a surprisingly upbeat vision for saving yourself and the world from dementia.
