Have You Heard About Greg? – A new documentary film about Greg O’Brien

Last night, my wife Lois and I watched this new documentary film about Greg O’Brien.  Although we have never met in person, Greg and I have been email and phone buddies for more than six years. We were introduced by staff at the Alzheimer’s Association after Greg had served on the  Association’s Early Onset Advisory Board. Greg is probably the most influential spokesperson for early recognition and management of Alzheimer’s. As his early-onset Alzheimer’s became symptomatic in his late 50s, this life-long journalist concentrated on writing and speaking about Alzheimer’s. Greg is a few years ahead of me in the journey, but he is still remarkably articulate. I have learned a lot from Greg by reading his book, On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer’s, and through our numerous chats over the last six years. Last year we exchanged signed copies of our books, On Pluto and A Tattoo on my Brain.

Have You Heard About Greg? is an amazing, 90-minute documentary about Greg, his family and the many people he has influenced over the years. It is a call to arms that should be widely seen. I urge you to watch it.  It is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video and other digital content sites.
