Awakenings--the basis of a highly acclaimed movie--is an unforgettable chronicle of a group of individuals who were affected by sleeping-sickness after World War I. Previously in a trance for decades with no cures, Dr. Oliver Sacks offered them life-altering L-DOPA drug and the results were astonishingly positive. Dr. Sacks narrates their incredible stories, lives and the phenomenal changes while reintegrating them into a new era.
