Documentary Screening : Wednesday 4 March 2020
Love is Listening
We will be screening the Memory Bridge Documentary, Love is Listening, in Hervey Bay.
​
Produced in partnership with Memory Bridge, LOVE IS LISTENING: DEMENTIA WITHOUT LONELINESS is a beautiful film that speaks directly to the heart of what it means to be with people who have dementia.

Although 70% of us know someone with dementia, many still struggle to connect with those in this condition. This documentary begins a journey from fear to deep listening. "Love Is Listening: Dementia Without Loneliness" will open your heart to a new way of being with people with dementia—a way that turns awkward to flow, isolation to intimacy, and loneliness to companionship.
