the real goodwill hunting.

"This is the breathtaking story of Daniel Tammet. A twenty-something with extraordinary mental abilities, Daniel is one of the world’s few savants. He can do calculations to 100 decimal places in his head, and learn a language in a week. This documentary follows Daniel as he travels to America to meet the scientists who are convinced he may hold the key to unlocking similar abilities in everyone."

i was going through my old saved favorites on youtube, and i found this 45 minute documentary in 5 smaller parts. i went on google video and found an all-in-one. :) i think it originally was released in the UK in 2004. i enjoyed it.

I don't usually put the time into watching videos that last longer than a minute. I blame the A.D.D. Or A.D.H.D. Either way, I'm so glad I gave up 45 minutes of watching random other videos, and put it into watching this documentary. This stuff is awesome.
