Movie Synopsis:

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.
