Michael Ignatieff's 1993 novel Scar Tissue, is the intense and often harrowing account of a woman's descent into Alzheimer's disease, told from the perspective of one of her adult sons. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, it tells in unsparing detail of the toll upon her family, and of the narrator's own struggle with the fear of death and loss.
On Thursday, July 30 at 9 p.m. and Midnight ET / 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. PT, VisionTV presents the 2002 small-screen adaptation of Ignatieff's novel.
Nominated for four Gemini Awards, Scar Tissue stars Roberta Maxwell (Brokeback Mountain, Dead Man Walking) as Mora, a painter slowly losing herself to Alzheimer's, and Shawn Doyle (Big Love) as the son who must confront both his mother's agonizing decline and the terrible possibility that the disease has been passed on to him -- and to his own young son.
Aidan Devine (M.V.P.) and Paul Hecht (Law & Order) also star.
Dennis Foon (Torso: The Evelyn Dick Story, Terry) wrote the screenplay. Peter Moss (Booky's Crush, St. Urbain's Horseman) directed.
