Oliver Sacks: His Own Life

Dir. Ric Burns | 2019 | 111 mins | Colour | USA | English | 15

London-born Oliver Sacks was a man of extremes. In his youth, he was a self-destructive, bodybuilding biker struggling with drug addiction and his own sexuality. In his maturity, he became a pioneering neurologist and the author of best-sellers such as Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat.

Filmed with full access to the man himself, and those closest to him OLIVER SACKS: HIS OWN LIFE both celebrates Sacks' incredible life and reminds us of his most important teaching: that our ability to connect with others is what truly makes us human.

The event release will include a pre-recorded Q&A with a panel of experts, colleagues and friends of Oliver Sacks.

Why you should see it: because it is a tender, joyous and life affirming portrait of a truly extraordinary man
