A month after receiving a fatal diagnosis in January
2015, Oliver Sacks sat down for a series of filmed
interviews in his apartment in New York City.
For eighty hours, surrounded by family, friends,
and notebooks from six decades of thinking and
writing about the brain, he talked about his life and
work, his abiding sense of wonder at the natural
world, and the place of human beings within it.
Drawing on these deeply personal reflections,
as well as nearly two dozen interviews with
close friends, family members, colleagues and
patients, and archival material from every point
in his life, Oliver Sacks: His Own Life is the story
of a beloved doctor and writer who redefined our
understanding of the brain and mind.
