The documentary ‘Alive Inside’ really pulls on heart strings, it explores the life of Dan Cohen, and his push for use of music in dementia and mental health patients. Throughout the film we meet several patients within the ward, one of which had not responded to any stimuli for 2 years and as soon as music was introduced she started moving and dancing. – Within our film group we discussed using music within our film to possibly trigger and induce hallucinations for the main character, as we learnt from the film that music activates more parts of the brain at the same time than any other stimulus.
