"Our America: Unforgettable" looks at the alarming data of Alzheimer's disease through a Hispanic and Latino lens.
Described as the long goodbye, "Unforgettable" goes inside the homes of two families whose lives have been disrupted, devastated, and redirected by Alzheimer's, yet doing all they can to face it with courage, compassion and dignity. She is from Puerto Rico, he is from the Dominican Republic. The longtime couple met during their childhood and bonded over their love for community service.
"There's no clear answer that says this is why Latinos are at risk of developing Alzheimer's," said Maria Aranda, professor at the University of Southern California and executive director of USC's Edward R. Roybal Institute on Aging. "I used to call her mom and she just wouldn't respond," said Ramirez while recalling when her mother stopped recognizing her. "And then I said, okay. I tried calling her by her name, Sophia, and she responded and that was hurtful. That was that was one of the hardest things to accept."
Dr. Zaldy Tan says that although we are all living longer due to advances in science and public health, one area that needs more attention and resources and should be addressed is the nation's collective risk of losing our cognition from Alzheimer's disease. The experts interviewed in this special agree that it is imperative for communities of color to participate in clinical trials and other types of research, such as observational research.
