Alive Inside debuted at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and became an internet sensation when a clip from the film was shared millions of times online. Alive Inside follows Dan Cohen who, on a whim, brings iPods to a nursing home to work with Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. To everyone's surprise- residents with memory loss 'awaken' when they hear music from their past. Through conversations with Oliver Sachs, Bobby McFerrin and others, difficult questions are raised about how we see aging and life itself. We all deserve the right to remain Alive Inside.
