The film is a unique collaboration between arts company verd de gris, writer Paula Sutherland and photographer/film-maker Geoff Brokate to enable people to see through some of the myths that build up around dementia and get closer to the person affected by the condition.

Over the last 12 months this collaboration has involved spending time in verd de gris‘ weekly creative dementia sessions, filming in the beautiful Pennine

landscape, and working closely with 4 very special individuals, all of whom are living with dementia.

It will be on show at Halifax Central, King Cross, Hebden Bridge and Todmorden Libraries.
