The Man with the 7 Second Memory (2005x10)

Air date: Sep 19, 2005

According to his son, Clive Wearing was at one time an "intellectual colossus". He was also a highly acclaimed conductor and musician. Then, in 1985, a virus left sections of his brain severely impaired, particularly those responsible for memory retention. As a result, he now lives in a constant state of reawakening. The Man with the Seven Second Memory is a compassionate and compelling portrait of his daily existence.
