85 min★ 8.2 · 13 votes

This is my personal struggle and journey to learn about the genetic disease that took my grandfather and my mother. Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease is a 100% fatal, untreatable neurodegenerative disease. I now have a 50/50 chance of inheriting the gene responsible for CJD. My journey starts with the rapid decline of my mother and takes me across North America as I seek answers from the top doctors and researchers in this field. I share the stories of other families affect by this horrible disease and what they are doing to help find a cure. Together, we march to the Capitol and demand that the Congress provide funding for research and surveillance of the disease. It ends when I discover my results.
