"The film started with alzheimer's and moved all the way up to motherhood"

Documentary Weekly met up with Kristof Bilsen at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2019 to talk about his latest film, 'Mother', ahead of it’s international premiere.

Following the loss of his own mother, Kristof became interested in a small alzheimer’s care centre in Thailand that goes beyond basic healthcare to provide patients with the emotional support and the love that they need from their environment.

There, Kristof met the carer Pomm and in his own words, “the film started out being about alzheimer’s but gradually moved up towards the subject of Motherhood”.

'Mother' is yet to receive an official release date, subscribe to Documentary Weekly on our social channels to receive updates on the film’s release.
