Summary

Join us for a special screening of Oliver Sacks: His Own Life. This compelling film explores the life and work of the legendary neurologist and storyteller, Oliver Sacks, as he shares intimate details of his battles with drug addiction, homophobia, and a medical establishment that accepted his work only decades after the fact. Sacks was a fearless explorer of unknown mental worlds who helped redefine our understanding of the brain and mind, the diversity of human experience, and our shared humanity.

You won’t want to miss this unique look into one of the most impactful medical practitioners and writers, alongside a Q&A with Ric Burns and Kate Edgar.
