Ticketyboo – a documentary that will forever change the conversation about dementia. (Clink link for trailer). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0G-kIOcomU I am over the moon that the feature documentary, Ticketyboo that I’m humbled to be featured in, was selected to premiere at the The Melbourne Documentary Film Festival. I am flying down for the premiere and will be a member of the Q&A panel.
Written and directed by TV journalist Renee Brack, Ticketyboo is a moving story of how one woman turns personal grief into human rights activism by undergoing tests for the disease that killed her father.
After losing her artist-father to Alzheimer’s, Renee Brack confronts her future and mortality by embarking on a journey to understand the debilitating disease that is the 2nd leading cause of death in Australia. Interweaving her poetic personal story exploring the signs of his dementia she missed, cutting edge brain science and social implications of human rights abused exposed by the Royal Commission, Renee uncovers a terrible truth. Dementia didn’t destroy her relationship with her dad, fear did. She challenges this by undergoing early detection tests despite the stigma of a positive diagnosis. The discrimination she faces is losing friends, work and a life she loves. Knowledge is power – or is it when it comes to dementia?
Ticketyboo will premiere at the “The Melbourne Documentary Film Festival” at Cinema Nova in Carlton on Saturday July 30th at 3.20pm. The link to buy tickets is below: the regular price is $20.50/$16.50 concession
Warm regards, Tim
