About the film

Drawing on previously unseen home movies, photos, archival footage, and intimate interviews with family members and musical contemporaries, “Cure For Pain: The Mark Sandman Story” offers a unique portrait of the man behind the music. From his Newton, Massachusetts, roots to his travels across America and around the globe, Sandman left an indelible imprint as one of the most distinctive musicians of his generation. Apart from revisiting the unique nature of Sandman's music, the film digs deeper, exploring the meaning of family through this critically praised singer-songwriter's own personal anguish.
