    Thanks, Butterfly. I saw it when it first came out and it was heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.

    KKim and Glenn were great. She is so caring and doing great things in his honor.

    Thanks for sharing!  Kim Campbell's book is very good too: Gentle on My Mind: In Sickness and in Health with Glen Campbell.

    Thank you ButterflyWings for bringing this amazing film back to peoples' attention.
    It will be five years in August that Glen Campbell passed, but his legacy will live on
    not only for his incredible talent, but his courage and bravery for allowing his dementia
    journey to be filmed.  In my opinion, it is the most accurate and heartbreaking portrayal of what not only the person afflicted goes through, but how this horrific disease affects the family and friends whose lives are broken in the process.  It was Glen Campbell's music that helped me deal with my journey in never never land and I think this movie should be viewed by everyone if they want to see and understand how dementia destroys lives.  Kim Campbell remains my hero and if not for her and her great love for Glen, God knows what would have happened to him.  She stood by him until the end and gave him love and respect which allowed him to pass in peace.  What more could any of us give our loved ones.  This is a MUST SEE movie!

    FYI ....IMDB has changed to FREEVEE. If you come to a dead link.

    If you have roku for your TV or similar you can add freevee for free and then search Glenn Cambell then watch on the big screen,

    Thanks for sharing! I love this genre of movies. I will definitely check it out.  I like to watch various research and documentary films. When I read https://www.firesticktricks.com/install-expressvpn-firestick.html and connected the VPN, watching movies on Netflix became even more interesting and practical. Sometimes my internet was not working well and some movies were not available. Now there is no such problem. When I watch the movie recommended by you, I will definitely share my opinion!

    Thanks for sharing this movie. I find it quite informative and interesting to watch such films. After I read https://www.firesticktricks.com/install-expressvpn-firestick.html I found many foreign films about this dementia and it's great. My neighbor has Alzheimer's disease and I often spend time with him, so I find these films useful

    Thanks for sharing! To be honest, such movies teach a lot and it's so wonderful. I rarely use TV, but once I read https://www.firesticktricks.com/firestick-4k-vs-fire-tv-cube.html and decided to try firestick. Now I watch shows about dementia and other diseases all the time because I find it very interesting. Perhaps I will go to get another education and it will be a doctor

    Thanks for sharing this film! I'd like to watch it with my dad but unfortunately he doesn't watch TV at all except the weather channel and discovery. So I got contacted the weather channel customer service ( https://the-weather-channel.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html ), after which I connected exactly that. It sounds a little strange, but now every time I visit him, he looks at the weather forecast
