University of Nebraska President Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, and UNMC Interim Chancellor H. Dele Davies, MD, invite the UNMC and Nebraska Medicine campus to a special screening of the documentary “Facing the Wind” on Oct. 28 at 6:30pm at Film Streams’ Ruth Sokolof Theater, 1340 Mike Fahey St.
Produced by Renée Fleming, Yo-Yo Ma, David Hyde Pierce and Suzie and Bruce Kovner, “Facing the Wind” is a love story about people with Lewy body dementia, the spouses who care for them and the remarkable community where they find sustenance and support.
Mary Lou Falcone, author and advocate for Lewy body dementia awareness, will introduce the film and moderate a panel discussion and Q&A session afterward.
Panelists include:
- Michele Magner, host of the podcast “Inspired Caring.”
- Joan Squires, president of Omaha Performing Arts.
- Julie Pavelka, UNMC Department of Neurological Sciences.
Falcone also will be available to sign her book, “I Didn’t See It Coming: Scenes of Love, Loss, and Lewy Body Dementia.”
Limited tickets are available. To reserve free tickets to this event, email the UNMC events staff.
