"Awakenings" tells the compelling true story of patients afflicted by sleeping sickness in the aftermath of World War I, who were long thought to be beyond hope. In 1969, Dr. Oliver Sacks introduced them to the revolutionary drug L-DOPA, leading to astonishing transformations and "awakenings." Through poignant case histories, Sacks explores the patients' journeys as they navigate a drastically changed world.
