Alive Inside: A Story of Music & Memory

Year
2014
Country
USA
Duration:
73 mins

Overview

When filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennett learned that a clip of his work-in-progress film Alive Inside had leaked and gone viral on the Internet, he was — surprisingly — thrilled. He’d spent the previous three years following social worker Dan Cohen, a man who devotes his life to rehabilitating Alzheimer’s patients through music. The viral leak had an immediate and palpable effect on Cohen’s work, increasing awareness, raising funds and opening doors that had been closed previously. For Cohen — whose mission is to bring personalized music to as many senior citizens as possible — the obstacles are large, but not insurmountable, thanks in part to this film, which won the Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary at Sundance in 2014 and will lift your heart to the ceiling.
