La Reina Yolanda

La Reina Yolanda is one woman's life from childhood adventures to her battle with Alzheimer's. Sometimes the greatest journeys are the ones in our own mind

Meet Yolanda, a fierce Latina who we follow from childhood to old age.  Beset by tragedy, she leans on her sharp mind and family to land on her feet. An advocate for her family and the less fortunate, her mind becomes ravaged by Alzheimer's.  She's faced with the fight for her mind, sense of self and the family she has fought hard to protect.  When who we are begins to disappear piece by piece, how do we hold on to the essence of what defines us.
