"Alive Inside" Documentary Screening Benefits Seniors With Dementia

Screening of award-winning documentary film about music and Alzheimer's benefits seniors with dementia.

The award-winning documentary Alive Inside explores music’s capacity to reawaken the souls of older adults with memory impairment and uncover the deepest parts of their humanity. As part of the Lenore Marwil Jewish Film Festival, a special screening of the film on May 18 will benefit the Dorothy and Peter Brown Jewish Community Adult Day Care Program. The Brown Program, with locations in Southfield and West Bloomfield, serves senior adults with Alzheimer’s disease and related memory disorders as well as their family caregivers.

Benefit tickets are $54 and include a pre-glow beginning at 7 p.m. in the Janice Charach Gallery, followed by the film at 8 p.m. in the Berman Center for the Performing Arts, 6600 W. Maple Rd., West Bloomfield. For more information or to order tickets, visit www.jvsdet.org/aliveinside; or contact Judy Strongman at (248) 233-4213 or jstrongman@jvsdet.org.
