"Alive Inside"

Documentary "Alive Inside" Explores the Healing Power of Music

A joyous cinematic story of music's ability to uncover the deepest parts of our humanity, "Alive Inside" is a stirring documentary that shows the sometimes-astonishing results of simple melody. Filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennett follows social worker Dan Cohen, founder of nonprofit Music & Memory, as he fights against the healthcare system to prove that music can combat memory loss. The miraculous results of sound are illuminated through interviews with family members, renowned neurologist/author Oliver Sacks and musician Bobby McFerrin. The 2014 Audience Award winner at the Sundance Film Festival, "Alive Inside" is an uplifting and emotional story of music and the mind.
