| Winner of the Audience Award at Sundance, Alive Inside moves people to tears but is a story of hope and most importantly it represents an opportunity to change lives. Dementia and memory loss are becoming one of the major issues facing the worId and this film shows that peopIe need not stay isoIated, locked out of the mainstream. They are not gone. They can be reached. They are Alive lnside The film is a joyous cinematic exploration of music's capacity to reawaken our souIs and uncover the deepest parts of our humanity. FiImmaker Michael Rossato-Bennett chronicIes the astonishing experiences of individuaIs who have been revitalised through the simple experience of listening to music. His camera reveals the uniquely human connection we find in music and how its healing power can triumph where prescription medication faIls short. This stirring documentary follows social worker Dan Cohen, founder of the non-profit organisation Music & Memory, as he fights against a broken American heaIthcare system to demonstrate music s abiIity to combat memory Ioss and restore a deep sense of self to those suffering from it. Rossato-Bennett visits famiIy members who have witnessed the miraculous effects of personalised music on their loved ones, and offers iIluminating interviews with experts including renowned neuroIogist and best-selling author OIiver Sacks (Musicophilia: TaIes of Music and the Brain) and musician Bobby McFerrin ('Don t Worry, Be Happy'). John King, author of The Football Factory, says, 'IncredibIy moving... and it makes sense that the sound and rhythms of music couId connect with the person Iost inside. They say that people used to sing Iike the birds before we taIked as we do now. Music in there in our heartbeat. A fIash of sound sparked creation? Dementia chaIIenges the meaning of existence itself by destroying memory. Do we or did we ever exist if we have no memory? l am sure the individual is stilI in there, the body a machine that carries the soul for a while. This couId be an incredibly important documentary if it helps peopIe in this position. Having spent a Iot of time with someone at the end of their life and suffering I know how important it is to have hope and respect, to not be written off or ignored.'
