Inspiring Life: Demented Poets

a Dementia Activisim film with Q&A

The Demented Poets is about a filmmaker who embarks on a personal journey after discovering that his father has dementia. He meets Ron Coleman, who proudly calls himself "The Demented Poet," and uses creativity to express and challenge how he lives with his condition. Ron introduces us to other dementia activists/artists  in Scotland as they put on Scotland's first Dementia Arts Festival.  We see how people living with dementia can produce meaningful art and how this helps with the illness. The film is a moving personal story about family, creativity, connection, love and humanity.
