#FilmFriday: Hailing from the #IndependentLens team on #PBS, "Matter of Mind: My Alzheimer's" is the final installment in a series that also included docs about #ALS and #Parkinsons Disease & focuses more on the #caregivers behind their parent/partner #Alzheimers #Dementia https://youtu.be/xtJK1wvA81I?si=i86Jv4zTUDWBYGFM&t=2009

- The new PBS Independent Lens documentary about America's public library system arrives with a very clever, two-edged title: Free for All: The Public Library.

The "Free for All" part refers, of course, to the beauty and generosity of the library system, which lends books, for free, to virtually anyone. But "Free for All" also refers to the many fights surrounding that idealistic institution: fights against segregated libraries; the banning of books; tax cuts and local library closures; targeted reductions of federal funds; and, quite recently and famously, "Drag Queen Story Hour."

'Free For All' review: This library documentary is worth checking out

Yesterday, by watching Independent Lens “No Straight Lines,”I learned about Queer cartoonists, and specifically about Alison Bechdel. I ordered her book Fun Home and another recommended book, Lessons in Chemistry. Just finished the graphic memoir Fun Home! Absolutely stunning and brilliant! #IndependentLens
