For Life After 50

The UCCS Aging Center will host a screening of “I’ll Be Me,” a documentary that follows musician Glen Campbell’s farewell tour as he struggles with Alzheimer’s disease, on Thursday, Nov. 8, at 5:30 p.m. The event will be held in the Chapman Foundations Recital Hall at the Ent Center for the Arts, including a panel discussion/Q&A and free refreshments by MacKenzie Place Senior Living.

The film chronicles Glen Campbell’s good-bye tour after he is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He and his family navigate the unpredictable nature of the disease through love, laughter and music. The Washington Post’s Ann Hornaday wrote: “As difficult as it is to witness Campbell’s struggles, especially when he forgets the names of his wife and children, ‘I’ll Be Me’ is an elevating experience, inviting the audience to bear witness to Campbell’s courage, humor and spiritual strength. His story may make for a tough movie, but it’s an important and triumphant one as well.” (Bring tissues.)
