Alive Inside Trailer

We've mentioned the organization Music and Memory, on the blog before, but with the release of the official trailer for Alive Inside, a movie based on the work of this non-profit organization, we thought we would mention them again.  The trailer (and the film itself) are worth a watch for anyone working in long-term care.   Alive Inside, a documentary film, examines the effect music can have on older adults with moderate to severe dementia.  The film follow Music and Memory as they deliver iPods filled with music to long-term care facilities and see first-hand the transformation that takes place.

The trailer can be seen below and to see when the movie will be playing in your area, please visit the Alive Inside website.
