19.01.2022 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. OLIVER SACKS: HIS OWN LIFE explores the life and work of the legendary neurologist and storyteller, 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. We're thrilled to present an advance screening of this moving documentary on Sunday 25 October at 4:30pm at Ritz Cinemas. Tickets are now on sale ---> http://bit.ly/JIFFpresentsOliverSacks
