For 10 years, Susanna Howard has been working as a writer, up close and personal with individuals experiencing advanced dementia. She is obsessed with communication, language and how we connect. This short film, made with video artist Zbigniew Kotkiewicz, is Susanna’s opportunity to explore what those 10 years mean, how she has been changed by the work and to look at what it might have done to her own brain. After the film Susanna will be quizzed by members of local dementia group The Sunshiners, who will also read poems by and about people with dementia.
