"Witnessing Death: a grandson's reflections on Alzheimer's" Overview
Witnessing Death: a grandson's reflections on Alzheimer's (27 min) is a short video piece made by medical student David Rosenthal about his grandfather Kurt Rosenthal. By interweaving his grandfather's struggle with Alzheimer's, the personal experiences of certified nursing aides, and interviews with clinical experts and medical ethicists, the video functions as both a personal memoir and as a dialogue on end-of-life issues. Made at the Buehler Center on Aging Summer Program on Geriatrics & Gerontology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, copyright 2005.
"David Rosenthal's new short film "Witnessing Death" is a powerful, inquisitive film essay about the death of the filmmaker's Grandfather, Kurt Rosenthal from Alzheimer's. In contrast to our habitual, perhaps even socially mandated tendency to sweep the details of death under the rug until we must personally confront them in silence, "Witnessing Death" addresses them with a lucid honesty that does justice not only to the difficulty of dying, but also to the way the process defines us as family, community and culture."

"This film beautifully captures the experiences of those who provide intimate and important care for patients facing the end of life: nurses and clinical nursing assistants. By combining their voices with his own experience as a family member and with the experiences of physicians and bioethicists, David Rosenthal has given us a valuable tool for learning and understanding."
