Synopsis:
We needed to launch the French independent movie "Floride", which tells the story of a man discovering he has Alzheimer's, a disease that affects more than 35 million people worldwide.
A recent study conducted by the Max Planck Institute of Neuroscience in Germany discovered that musical memories are stored in the last area of the brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
This means that even patients in an advanced stage of the disease are able to recall and sing a song from their past.
We used this discovery to create a movement that gave hope to Alzheimer’s patients around the world.
The #unforgettablesongs movement united patients and volunteer musicians to transform real life stories of recently diagnosed Alzheimer’s patients into songs. This way, the stories would be hidden from the disease in a different part of their brain and eternalized in the patient’s memories.
The project started with a short documentary telling the story of one of the Alzheimer patients that was helped by the movement. The video reached some of the most influential websites in the country.
The story got so much attention it was picked up by news shows of the major television channels, generating more than 23.7 million dollars in earned media (according to JP Media), generating enough awareness about the movie "Floride" to double the number of screening rooms it was scheduled to appear in.

Sinopse:
Scientists discovered that musical and common memories are stored in different parts of the brain. That means music is one of the last things affected by Alzheimer. So we created a movement that unites musicians and patients to write songs about their life stories.
