After the deaths of their mothers, these daughters are determined to contribute to the search for a cure. This is the latest fight against Alzheimer's - by those with a very personal stake in the battle. Filmed in an observational style with supplementary interviews, the film follows women from contrasting communities in Wisconsin over five years. Barb and her large family take turns caring for their dying mother in a rural corner of the state. In Milwaukee, Karen struggles to raise her adolescent son after her own mother's passing. She joins the Community Advisory Board, a watchdog group that works to protect Black lives in the study. Meanwhile, Sigrid, a retiree in a college town, focuses full-time on adopting a lifestyle that she believes can stave off the disease. Each woman visits the research site regularly and undergoes rigorous physical and cognitive tests with researchers on the front lines.| Length: 34 minutes
