Oliver Sacks, Atul Gawande, Temple Grandin

How does the human brain work? Oliver Sacks asked himself this question throughout his entire life. The documentary filmed on the basis of his autobiography My Own Life maps the life of this distinct neurologist, writer, and populariser of science. The film is based on archival material that tells, in an intimate way, the story of the personal and professional life of Oliver Sacks. It emphasises his youth in the USA, where he moved in the 1960s from Great Britain. Although he dedicated most of his life to work in a hospital, writing was his passion. The books that he published were based on his own experience with patients and won global acclaim from specialists as well as general audiences alike.
