THEATER OF THOUGHT

NYC PREMIERE Werner Herzog turned 80 this year and is receiving DOC NYC’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Now he teams with scientist Rafael Yuste to interview an eclectic array of brain specialists undertaking research that has the potential to make the world both better and worse. He probes into technology, human rights law, philosophy and more. For a filmmaker who’s traveled to the furthest corners of the earth, this journey inside our skulls makes for a mind-bending trip. – Thom Powers
