Join John Philson for a film night with Jonathan Miller as he explores the life and identity of musician Clive Wearing, whose severe amnesia leaves him with only a few seconds of memory, in this poignant documentary.
The late Jonathan Miller, British neurologist (among other talents), steers this hourlong documentary on the renowned musician Clive Wearing. A serious bout of viral encephalitis had attacked his central nervous system. The resultant brain damage leaves him with a 7-20 second memory. Miller’s concern is with the quality of life that remains and what kind of “soul” is still evident.
