Keene Public Library's Online Event of 'The Genus of Marian'

1:00pm–3:00pm

Join the Keene Public Library for a free screening of The Genius of Marian.
The Genius of Marian is a visually rich, emotionally complex story about one family's struggle to come to terms with Alzheimer's disease. After Pam White is diagnosed at age 61 with early-onset Alzheimer's, life begins to change, slowly but irrevocably, for Pam and everyone around her. Her husband grapples with his role as it evolves from primary partner to primary caregiver. Pam's adult children find ways to show their love and support while mourning the gradual loss of their mother. Her eldest son, Banker, records their conversations, allowing Pam to share memories of childhood and of her mother, the renowned painter Marian Williams Steele, who had Alzheimer's herself and died in 2001. Official Selection of the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival.


Watch the film and then take part in a conversation about the themes presented in the film. The screening and discussion will take place remotely, online.
