Review of "Eat Your Eggs" Grandma and Alzheimer’s

Producer Jake Warga has created a loving tribute to his grandmother and her decline through the years. With personal commentary and recordings from various times of her life, "Eat Your Eggs" documents their relationship and Jake's reactions to his Grandma with intimate and finely recorded conversations at various points of their lives. Humor laces the piece so it never gets too down but there are times I want Warga's narration and delivery to be more affected by her decline. Yet, this experience is universal and one that is pertinent as baby boomers are have been caring for their elder parents. This piece could be aired by any station at any time and should be.
