	Description:		In this SPECIAL EPISODE of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas plays part of a documentary about created by CBC Radio One’s “The Current.” The documentary is based on of an article published by Demetri dealing with his experience of and subsequent recovery from severe dementia and anterograde amnesia caused by a Craniopharyngioma. Demetri is the very fortunate survivor of a brain tumor for which he underwent both surgery, as well as radiation therapy in the summer and fall of 2013. He lived with his brain tumor for four years before it began to cause him serious symptoms, most notably, dementia and anterograde amnesia. After his surgery in June of 2013, Demetri experienced an unprecedented reacquisition of previously lost memories. Rather than the memories not having formed at all, the tumor had simply disrupted the retrieval process, and so, once the surgery removed pressure from his hippocampus and other cognitive areas of the brain, Demetri was able to require and assimilate those memories into his life. This is a short documentary of that story, produced by Leif Zapf-Gilje. Producer & Host: Demetri Kofinas Join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter at @hiddenforcespod
