Gazette columnist Bill Brownstein dedicated his February 27 column to Chris Wynn’s story of how and why the film Forgetful Not Forgotten was made.
“Much of the power of the documentary comes from Wynn’s personal approach. “A producer advised me that given the nature of the film, I should expose myself and dive right into it. It was difficult, but I did it. Doing that not only helped me tell my father’s story, but has also, oddly, made me feel a little better about the disease and has helped me get through the whole ordeal.”

She points to John Wynn’s family’s dedication, and to their willingness to adapt to a changing father and husband as a key lesson for viewers: “That fluidity, the ability to let go of the old John and embrace the new John, provides an invaluable insight into how to cope with Alzheimer’s.”
