Directed by:Teresa Mahoney

Steve Goodwin was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease in 2015 at the age of 65. He composed dozens of songs on the piano throughout his life, but never wrote any of them down. Goodwin has been working with a professional musician and family friend, Naomi LaViolette, for over a year to help record his songs before his memory fades.
