Glimpses of hope for Dementia Action Week
Glimpses is a four-minute journey through the life of Hounslow-local Saima, played by Taru Devani, who at 64, is faced with the daunting news that she has dementia. We follow Saima and her son, Adam, played by Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana, as they navigate this new phase of life where Saima learns to rely on her son.
While the characters in Glimpses are fictitious, the issues they encounter and the challenges they face are very real. The film highlights that for anyone in Hounslow living with dementia - help is available.
The Council has worked with Hounslow-based not-for-profit Capture Minds to create the film.
Shot on location in the borough, Glimpses aims to shed light on the reality of life with dementia and how services, family networks and the community all interact to support the individual who is living with the condition.
The Council and its partners will use the Glimpses video to send out a message of support, solidarity and hope during Dementia Action Week, which began on May 15.
