Take a Glimpse at dementia experiences

Hounslow Council has commissioned a touching new film to raise awareness about the challenges faced by people in the borough living with dementia.

Glimpses is a four-minute journey through the life of Hounslow-local Saima who at 64, is faced with the daunting news that she has dementia. 

The film follows Saima and her son, Adam, as they navigate this new phase of life. 

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 and you are never alone.

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.
