The Man With the Seven Second Memory
This documentary tells the moving story of Clive Wearing, a gifted conductor left with one of the most severe cases of amnesia ever recorded. After a virus devastated his brain in 1985, he was trapped in a memory that lasts only seconds, forever greeting his wife anew. The film explores how love and music survived where memory could not. It is a profound watch for anyone interested in the brain, memory, and the mystery of the mind. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
