The 16th edition of the Fort Myers Beach International Film Festival is underway and bringing another packed lineup to the Beach Theater beginning April 16, 2022. One movie on the schedule which stands out, and which has been honored with dozens of awards, is the opening day feature "Not to Forget," which was screened yesterday. The movie features five Academy Award winners, two of whom have died since the movie was filmed. The film, based on a Kentucky farm, also stars Karen Grassle ("Little House on the Prairie") as Melody, a grandmother struggling with Alzheimer's. She and her co-star Kevin Hardesty, who plays a farm manager, have both received awards for their roles. The director said he wanted to make a movie that brought awareness not just to Alzheimer's but how it affects families and the importance of caregivers.
