On the 3rd March I was so blessed to be able to go and see the premier of Ruby's Choice, a heartfelt film about an Australian family navigating the challenges of their mother/grandmother's dementia diagnosis. Jane Seymour plays Ruby, a strong, artistic, wise and loving woman who carries herself with such grace you can't help but completely adore her. What I love about this film is that despite her cognitive decline, the true essence of Ruby, her history, her wisdom, her strength is never far from the surface. Whilst her family struggle with the diagnosis and how to adequately support her, the strong and loving relationships, especially between Ruby and her granddaughter Tash (played by the extremely talented Coco Jack Gillies), really shine through and show us that the power of love can overcome the most difficult of life's challenges. This film will touch your heart.
