Synopsis:
Witnessing Death: a grandson's reflections on Alzheimer's is a powerful, inquisitive film essay about the death of the filmmaker's Grandfather, Kurt Rosenthal from Alzheimer's. In contrast to our habitual, perhaps even socially mandated tendency to sweep the details of death under the rug until we must personally confront them in silence, "Witnessing Death" addresses them with a lucid honesty that does justice not only to the difficulty of dying, but also to the way the process defines us as family, community and culture.
