An estimated 55 million individuals worldwide are currently grappling with the challenges of dementia, a neurodegenerative syndrome that has seen a significant rise in prevalence over the past 25 years. In an effort to increase awareness and empathy towards this condition, the documentary film 'Little Empty Boxes' has emerged as a poignant exploration of the impact of dementia on individuals and their loved ones.
'Little Empty Boxes' marks the directorial debut of Max Lugavere, a renowned health journalist and author of best-selling books such as 'Genius Foods' and 'Genius Kitchen.' Lugavere, in collaboration with co-director and editor Chris Newhard, delves into the personal journey of his mother, Kathy Lugavere, as she navigates the challenges of dementia.
