This program will feature, The Father, followed by a moderated discussion addressing  questions related to the story, caregivers and sharing experiences.

Anthony Hopkins, is 80, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carers that his daughter, Anne, encouragingly introduces. Help becomes a necessity for Anne; she can't make daily visits anymore and Anthony's grip on reality is unraveling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves the loss of her father, while he still lives and breathes before her? The Father warmly embraces real life, through loving reflection upon the vibrant human condition; heart-breaking and uncompromisingly poignant — a movie that nestles in the truth of our own lives.

Led by stellar performances and artfully helmed by writer-director Florian Zeller, The Father presents a devastatingly empathetic portrayal of dementia. With Anthony Hopkins (Academy Award Winner) and Olivia Colman delivering some of the best work of their careers, The Father does a heartbreakingly effective job of realistically depicting dementia.
