ABOUT

You're Looking At Me Like I Live Here And I Don't is the invigorating first-person documentary account of Lee Gorewitz's life inside the Traditions Alzheimer's & Other Dementia Care Unit at the Reutlinger Community for Jewish Living in Danville, California.

A total immersion into the fragmented day-to-day experience of the disease, the film reveals Lee's penetrating ruminations and charismatic vitality, challenging our preconceptions of illness and aging.

"You're Looking At Me Like I Live Here And I Don't is the first documentary to truly present the perspective of a person with dementia. It is a great contribution to the understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and a respectful portrait of those who are afflicted."
— Steve Zweig, Director of the University of Missouri Interdisciplinary Center on Aging
