GARDEN SHARK breaks through the hopelessness and loss of a dementia diagnosis by giving people living with dementia and their caregivers a new way to connect and find joy. It explores Improv’s ability to teach people to live in the moment, communicate, and learn to laugh in spite of their struggles. GARDEN SHARK highlights couples’ individual experiences and shows how beautifully partners living with dementia respond to the risk-free, playful, and hilarious environment created by Inside Out Theatre’s Village Improv for Alzheimer’s program.

This film is restricted to viewers in the United States only.
