OLIVER SACKS: HIS OWN LIFE (2021) | Full Movie | Documentary | Altitude Films

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.
Directed by Ric Burns, OLIVER SACKS: HIS OWN LIFE is a tender, joyous and life affirming portrait of a truly extraordinary man.

Why there is not a string of comments on this remarkable film mystifies me. Oliver Sacks was a world changer, a compassionate and remarkable human being.

Well, look at what people are generally obsessed with these days. A sad state of affairs

[@derfn6971]

Wonderful kind spiritual genius.

Shane Fistell's quote at 1:22:37 might be the best way to describe Oliver Sacks: "it's like a country doctor making house calls through the whole world".

This great documentary should be seen by more people. Oliver was a very interesting and caring individual. Maybe repost it adding more to the title to bring in more views?
