Walk With Me Overview

In an intimate exploration of memory, identity, and the quiet power of love, Heidi Levitt chronicles her life as a caregiver to her husband Charlie, a graphic designer, father, and community leader, after his early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis at just 57. Determined to humanize the disease, she sets out to film their efforts to better understand the diagnosis and find new answers to the question: how do we live a good life in the face of profound change? In Walk With Me, Levitt captures their journey as they criss-cross the country, meet with leading doctors, investigate drug trials, and navigate the daily challenges of living with the disease. As Charlie’s cognitive facilities diminish, his charm, warmth, and humour take centre stage along with Levitt’s generosity of care, transforming Walk With Me into a testament to love and the strength and resilience of the human spirit
