Ever Vanishing Present

"She has only seven seconds memory, taking notes on all things."

Junko Mizuta in Japan has only 7 seconds memory. She keeps taking notes on what she did, talked, where she went every single second for social communication. She was struck down in the 2000's by a herpes simplex virus that caused massive damage to her brain. She was left with a memory that spans just seven seconds, it's one of the worst cases of amnesia. She also meets a man who has the same memory handicap in the program. His memory duration may be even shorter than her but he rarely makes notes. CBC TV follows Ms. Mizuta for years and she says ”Memory is Life”. This documentary is about "What is Memory?" "What is Life?"
