Episode #303: "The Wonderment of Life" | Awakenings (1990)

Dr. Malcolm Sayer is not what you'd call a people person. Mostly because he's not very good around people. His biggest problem is that he's just been hired to treat patients in a psych ward at a Bronx hospital. He soon makes a connection with his catatonic patients and begins to realize that they may be more "awake" than anyone realizes. Robin Williams, Robert De Niro, John Heard, and Julie Kavner star in Awakenings. This continues our “Experiments Gone Wrong” month, which includes: Flatliners, Total Recall, Awakenings, and Darkman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAz-prw_W2A
