Just watched the DVD of this film again today. This documentary is beautifully done, and inspires me beyond words. Recently read that the narrator of the film Olivia de Havilland turned 94 this month - she is as amazing as ever. The DVD package we got on amazon also includes some short films that further highlight hows of organizing museum visits and organizing creative workshops which are enlightening.

It's amazing Olivia de Havilland is still alive today. I loved her in Gone With the Wind.

Olivia is so classic.

They look so calm and happy! It seems that Alzheimers patients still very much have a deep capacity for emotion, so this seems to be a wonderful outlet for those who cannot express themselves otherwise. So wonderful! I need to see this!

Early on, during an internship, I experienced the wonder that art played in unravelling the "messed-up" mind......40 years later I witnessed 1st hand the remarkable reaction of the mind to art even when shrouded in Alzheimer's.

Wonderful for many reasons: showing the possibility for people with memory problems, showing how important the arts are in everyday life, and the quality of the piece is excellent! Thank you. I would like to post this on my site.
