The California Association of Health Facilities (CAHF) is partnering with Chapman University’s School of Pharmacy and the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts to present a special screening of Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory, including a panel discussion and Q&A.
The 2014 film, directed and produced by Michael Rossato-Bennett, explores the transformative impact of music on people living with a diagnosis of dementia or other cognitive disorders. The award winning documentary follows the journey of social worker Dan Cohen, creator of the national Music & Memory® program which helps non-verbal dementia patients re-ignite positive memories as they listen to familiar songs from their past.
