Valley Entertainment has released a soundtrack album for the documentary Oliver Sacks: His Own Life. The album features the film’s original music composed by Brian Keane (Copper, Death and the Civil War, The Night Flier). The soundtrack is now available to stream/download here. Oliver Sacks: His Own Life is directed by Ric Burns and centers on renowned neurologist and literary giant Oliver Sack who captured the imagination of the public with his eloquently written case studies of cognitive disorders. The movie features exclusive interviews with Sacks done just after he received a terminal cancer diagnosis, and months prior to his death in August 2015. The documentary, which premiered at last year’s Telluride Film Festival, will be released in virtual theaters in the U.S. on September 23 by Zeitgeist Films/Kino Lorber and will debut in 2021 on PBS as part of the American Masters series.
