NEW Documentary explores family’s courageous
battle with Parkinson’s
Dallas, Texas (August , 2005) – Louis Salzman had at least one thing in common with Pope John Paul II, Muhammad Ali and Michael J. Fox - Parkinson’s Disease. Along with these famous faces, Louis Salzman is but one of the estimated 4 million people worldwide affected by this neurological disorder. Louie, Louie: A Portrait in Parkinson’s is filmmaker Cynthia Salzman Mondell’s latest effort documenting her father’s 30-year battle with the disease, and her family’s struggle to cope with the tremendous emotional and physical responsibilities associated with his care giving. A realistic, yet stirring look at an intimate family ordeal, Louie, Louie is a courageous story that will touch the hearts of all who view it.
Cynthia Salzman Mondell comments, “As a filmmaker, I wanted to document the effects of my father’s battle with Parkinson’s Disease and address some of the painful issues my family faced as caregivers.”
Delaina Walker-Batson, Director of Texas Women’s University’s The Stroke Center-Dallas, Texas states, "This film shows the effects of a degenerative illness (Parkinson's disease) and what it takes in courage and humor for each member of the family to make it through.”
