Turning Point: The Quest for a Cure – Alzheimer’s Documentary Screening & Panel Discussion of the new Documentary, Turning Point.

Where will the future of Alzheimer’s research take us? BrightFocus Foundation, CaringKind, and the New York Genome Center present an exclusive screening and panel discussion of the new documentary, Turning Point.

Acclaimed filmmaker and director James Keach follows a team of researchers on the front lines of Alzheimer’s research and captures the raw disappointment and renewed hope of those working to find a cure for this incurable disease affecting nearly 5.7 million Americans. James Keach, who has had a successful wide-ranging career in the motion picture industry both in front of and behind the camera, previously produced the award winning film “Walk the Line” and the currently in theaters film “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice.” James also directed the award-winning documentary film that brought much needed attention to Alzheimer’s, “Glen Campbell…I’ll Be Me.”
