FACING THE WIND

FACING THE WIND follows two women whose lives are irrevocably changed by their husbands' diagnoses with Lewy body dementia (LBD), a widespread, but little-known condition. After struggling to find information about her husband Jim’s disease, Linda Szypula starts a podcast about LBD with Curry Wisenhunt, a Texan truck driver who also has the disease. Their efforts grow into a unique online support community for those living with the disease as well as their caregivers. In this support group, Linda meets Carla Preyer, who has just quit her job to care for her husband, Patrick. They bond over their shared challenges and the dark humor they use to cope. Their friendship and their connection to the support group help them deal with their grief, rise to the demands of caregiving and emerge whole on the other side.
