SEASON: 1
EPISODE: 2 - Louis Theroux: Extreme Love - Dementia
SYNOPSIS
Louis visits Phoenix, Arizona, to explore dementia, a condition that steadily erodes the personality of its sufferers and constantly tests the people looking after their loved ones. He visits Beatitudes care home, where he meets Gary, a 69-year-old who thinks he is serving in the military and denies ever marrying Carla, his wife of 20 years. He also becomes carer for the day to Nancy, a former New York model who can no longer string a complete sentence together, but whose husband still sees glimpses of the woman he first fell in love with.
