Film at CAT - Oliver Sacks: His Own Life

“Oliver Sacks: His Own Life,” is a fascinating documentary that explores the remarkable life of a legendary neurologist who redefined our understanding of the mind and brain. A month after receiving a fatal cancer diagnosis in January 2015, beloved doctor Oliver Sacks sat down for a series of filmed interviews in his apartment in New York City. For eighty hours with notebooks from six decades of thinking and writing about the brain and surrounded by family, close friends, colleagues and patients, he talked about his life and work. He discussed his abiding sense of wonder at the natural world and the place of human beings within it. A moving portrait of a man taking deep stock of his life with great satisfaction and verve.
