Welcome

Welcome to Alive Inside

Our world disconnects us. Let's do the opposite.

A note from Michael

My name is Michael Rossato-Bennett. A few years ago I made a film called Alive Inside. It showed how music can wake the minds of people with dementia, and it changed elder care worldwide.

It also made me realize how many ordinary people feel dead inside. So we ran an experiment.

We brought 200 to 400 kids a month to one nursing home. It made everyone feel alive inside. I thought I was going to change the world again and started filming a new film, Alive Inside Too! Then Covid shut us down.

Now it is time to bring it back. Our world disconnects us. Let us do the opposite.

Let's connect and share the music of being alive.

You can help us grow this movement of life and joy by taking four simple steps.
