This trailer is for the forthcoming documentary film 'The World Turned Upside Down', which will be released on 23rd September 2022 as part of World Alzheimer's Month.
This is a film about a theatre production, The World Turned Upside Down, that takes a realistic look at what it can be like to live with dementia or care for a person with dementia.
The idea for The World Turned Upside Down arose from discussions between Director Paul Jepson and Professor Linda Clare, who leads the IDEAL research programme, about using theatre to share the findings of research in a way that could make a difference to people’s lives, and about how to realistically portray what it is like to live with dementia.
We chose the theme of communication. Our aim was to explore where communication can go wrong and draw on audience insights to find ways of communicating that work better for everyone involved.
