We Are England: Dementia, Music and Us

In the five years since Keith and Joan were diagnosed with dementia, Manchester Camerata workshops have helped them cope and create new memories. This 30 min documentary, as part of the ‘We Are England’ strand, follows the couple while on holiday with other dementia-impacted families and carers. As they write and perform new songs as part of their music therapy, a music expert observes the group hoping to better understand the connection between music and memories.  Shown on BBC One.
