ABOUT THE FILM
Memory fades.
Connection endures.
Braving the Night explores Alzheimer’s disease through the imaginative world of animation.
At its heart is the bond between generations: the memories we share, the people who shape us, and the love that remains when remembering becomes difficult.
Co-created by physician and author Daniel Feldman and filmmaker Joshua Kushner, this animated short brings a deeply human perspective to memory, family, and connection.
