After 2,400 years a group of Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s patients and advocates return to the birthplace of Healthcare.
Healthcare was abandoned. In eons since the temple stones were laid everything has changed, but in the modern age why are so many still in need of assistance and fighting for their lives? After two millennia, in a world of super science and technology how much more time will it take to find the cures people seek? An international team of notable Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease advocates take an introspective journey through the searing heat of the Sirocco winds across the Island of Sicily. On foot the team walks the Magna Via Francigena, a recently discovered pilgrimage route to the 2,400 year old ruins of the Temple of Asclepius - the birthplace of healthcare.
In the world beyond this ancient island they have each built legions of advocates fighting to shine light on the need to cure these diseases. But, in the absence of a perfect health care system, what can they do to save themselves and the people they love?
The epic final chapter in the "10 Mountains 10 Years" project.
