The Alzheimer’s Association is hosting a free community event in Indianapolis to spark conversation about Alzheimer’s disease. On Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, the organization will screen the film Unforgettable at the historic Madam Walker Legacy Center from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Why the film matters
Unforgettable is adapted from a stage production that highlights the importance of early detection, diagnosis and the vital role families and neighborhoods play in caring for those affected by Alzheimer’s. By presenting the story in a cinematic format, the Association hopes to reach a broader audience and encourage open dialogue about a disease that touches countless Indiana families.
What to expect
After the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to join a moderated question‑and‑answer session. Denise Jones Harrington, director of Alz Equity for Indiana, will lead the discussion, inviting participants to ask questions of a panel that includes medical professionals, caregivers and community advocates. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
How to attend
Admission is free, but registration is required to manage capacity. Interested individuals should reserve a spot through Eventbrite. The organizers encourage participants to bring a friend, family member or fellow caregiver so the conversation can extend beyond the event and into everyday life.
Community impact
Alzheimer’s disease affects more than 6 million Americans, and Indiana’s senior population is growing rapidly. Local nonprofits and health agencies stress that early awareness can lead to earlier diagnosis, better treatment outcomes and stronger support networks. Events like this screening align with the Association’s broader mission to educate the public, reduce stigma and empower caregivers.
Support for families
For families navigating Alzheimer’s, the Association offers resources such as support groups, educational webinars and a 24‑hour helpline. Attendees of the screening will receive information packets that detail local services, caregiving tips and upcoming community workshops.
