ABOUT THE DIVIDED BRAIN DOCUMENTARY
The Divided Brain is a mind-altering wake-up call that challenges our understanding of how we see the world and ourselves. Renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist, Dr. Iain McGilchrist, takes us on a journey to understand how our brains have made us a powerful species, while simultaneously creating social and environmental problems that we struggle to resolve; problems that threaten our very survival and the future of our planet. While society searches for solutions, Dr. McGilchrist argues that the real problem is inside our heads. The Divided Brain is inspired by Dr. Iain McGilchrist’s book, “The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World" and features renowned experts and special appearances by the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, and actor John Cleese.
