Dear Parents/Guardians:
In your son/daughter’s Psychology class we will be watching the movie Awakenings. The
movie is PG-13. (There are a few swear words in the movie.) Below you will find the
summary of the movie. We will be watching it Wednesday April 8th –Friday April 10th .
This movie is a follow up the topics we have been discussing this semester including
consciousness.
A new doctor finds himself with a ward full of comatose patients. He is disturbed by them
and the fact that they have been comatose for decades with no hope of any cure. When
he finds a possible chemical cure he gets permission to try it on one of them. When the
first patient awakes, he is now an adult having gone into a coma in his early teens. The
film then delights in the new awareness of the patients and then on the reactions of their
relatives to the changes in the newly awakened. Written by .John Vogel
____ Yes, my child can participate in viewing Awakenings.
____ No, I would prefer that they had an alternative assignment.
