In a public health outreach initiative, the Centre for Brain and Mind (CBM) at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) in Bengaluru organised a four-day virtual screening of an international documentary “KEYS BAGS NAMES WORDS”, which sheds light on the intricate challenges posed by dementia, from November 18.
One of the core missions of the CBM, which is supported by Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies, is to advance research and community education. The screening had nearly 200 registrations and saw participation of patients, family members, caregivers, NGOs, researchers and doctors.
‘Keys Bags Names Words’ is a poignant exploration of the impact of dementia on individuals, families, and society, resonating deeply with the audience. The film gracefully shares personal stories, debunking myths, and fostering a deeper understanding of dementia, a condition affecting millions globally. It is a quirky and inspiring lens portraying stories of the personal and global impacts of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
