Uncommon genius
Documentary profiling the nature of intelligence. Dr Robyn Young travels across America visiting savants; gifted individuals, whose remarkable abilities have come as a result of brain damage. These people may have prodigious memory, but cannot logically reason. Known as savants syndrome, the genius is often linked to autism and tends to be musical or mathematical. Dr. Young is interested to see if the abilities change over time, and she suggests that savants minds are not distracted by everyday activities.
