We are delighted to announce that Ric Burns’ film Oliver Sacks: His Own Life is now available for streaming in the U.S. on iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, and Google Play.
To everyone who made the effort to watch the documentary last year, thank you—your support made the film the number one release for 2020 on Kino Now’s virtual cinema platform! Australian audiences were lucky enough to see the film in physical cinemas throughout December, and the Australian Book Review called it “a poignant portrait of a lyrical neurologist” and a “very satisfying two hours spent with a fascinating and inspiring figure.”
As we enter this new year we are mindful of these words from Dr. Sacks: “We are not given the world: we make our world through incessant experience, categorization, memory, reconnection.” They remind us of the power each of us has to shape the world we live in. We wish you a new year full of reconnections and new experiences. Above all, please stay healthy!
