Williams plays Dr. Malcolm Sayer, a shy research physician who uses an experimental drug to &#8220;awaken&#8221; the catatonic victims of a rare disease. De Niro co-stars as Leonard, the first patient to receive the controversial treatment. His awakening, filled with awe and enthusiasm, proves a rebirth for Sayer too, as the exuberant patient reveals life&#8217;s simple but unutterably sweet pleasures to the introverted doctor. Encouraged by Leonard&#8217;s stunning recovery, Sayer administers the drug to the other patients. The story of their friendship during this emotional journey is a testament to both the tenderness of the human heart and the strength of the human soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Goshen Public Library call number:  <\/strong>DVD-A (VISUAL MATERIAL) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year of Release:\u00a01997 A summary from Amazon:&nbsp; By opening one man&#8217;s eyes to the world&#8230; he opened his own.
