THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF BERNICE TRIMBLE
By Beth Graham
Director: Iain Moggach
Producer: Jason Bowers
Iris Trimble is struggling to cope with the recent news that her mother, Bernice, has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. To compound the shock of the news, her siblings are on opposite sides of the fence - Sarah demands a second opinion, and Peter seems completely unfazed. In the face of these tricky family dynamics, Bernice approaches it with a smile and a laugh and, most importantly, is ready to put herself first. Told with a good dose of humour while carefully addressing a sensitive topic, the story illuminates the challenges families experience when faced with this all too prevalent health issue. Nominated for the 2015 Governor General's Award. 🇨🇦
