Description

Jim Forgetting is an unflinching portrait of a year in the life of Jim and Donna, a middle-aged couple struggling with Jim's early-onset Alzheimer's disease. While watching her husband slowly disappear, Donna's patience and love is pushed to heartbreaking limits. She is left to ask: When love is composed of moments remembered and dreams shared, what happens to a marriage when memories fade and futures disappear? Jim Forgetting is an unforgettable story of one woman's heart-wrenching decision.
