Cinemavixion Review

This documentary delves into the profound challenges of severe anterograde amnesia through the story of John Spencer. Spencer's condition, a result of a brain hemorrhage 17 years prior, leaves him with a memory span of mere seconds, a stark contrast to his clear recollections of his childhood during World War II. The narrative highlights his deep reliance on his wife, Audrey, as he navigates daily life with an inability to retain new information. The film follows Spencer's journey as he seeks specialized treatment and surgery, offering a poignant look at his hope for recovery and the immense hurdles presented by his condition.
