Synopsis by Maggie Sadler
In the 1990s, respected neuroscientist Dr. Phil Kennedy riled the media with his unorthodox experimentations after wiring a paralyzed man's brain with electrodes, seeking to create a neural link with a computer that allowed the patient to use his mind to control the network. In pursuit of further knowledge, Dr. Kennedy ventured to South America in 2014, hoping to continue his controversial research. Yet Dr. Kennedy took the scientific community by surprise when he used the same technology on himself. Written and directed by David Burke.
