Community Matters: Alive Inside


“The philosopher Kant once called music ‘the quickening art’.” (Oliver Sacks)

Winner: Audience Award at Sundance!

With renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks providing context, this is a groundbreaking, moving investigation into the mysterious way music functions in our brains.
