The Genius of Marian

An Alzheimer’s Documentary

My mother, Pam White, was a passionate social worker who dedicated her life to helping others. It is in that spirit of service that we are proud to offer our film to you for free. Whether you are a caregiver seeking connection or a family looking for a way to start a difficult conversation, we hope our story offers a light in the dark.

Alzheimer’s is a disease that can often feel isolating, but no one should have to walk this path in silence. We hope this film serves as a conversation starter, a source of comfort, and a reminder of the enduring power of family and art.
