AshaUSA - Mango Songs

Join our effort to raise awareness and address the stigma of memory loss. This Remember Project event hosted by AshaUSA is part of our 2023 tour. Watch the theatrical video of "Mango Songs," participate in the Dementia-Friendly Communities movement, learn about resources in the Twin Cities Metro, and meet with others who are interested in learning more while supporting those who live with dementia.

Alia is on a journey of discovery, of grieving, and of celebrating her father who left far too soon due to Alzheimer's disease. From the intimacy of a singular storyteller to grasping what can be lost as families move across oceans and adopt new languages and customs, Alia asks, "How do you find a memory everyone has forgotten?"
