The “Only Human” channel presents “The Boy Who Can’t
Forget” (46 min), posted in Dec. 2017.
The film presents a 20 year-old British lad who can
remember every day of his life, at least back to infancy. He is a walking perpetual calendar, and can
name the weekday of any date. He is not
a savant or autistic, and is socially normal with friends (the film later on
tended to hint that he is gay).
The film presents a young woman, and several other
people.
Late in the film, Auerelian (if I heard his name
right) travels to Italy to have an unusual brain scan to examine how his brain
works during these recollections. They
found unusual connections through the corpus collosum.
Possibly the brain changes are epigenetic, but they
would seem to be beneficial.
I had a coworker in Dallas with a totally photographic
memory in the 1980s (in mainframe computing).
One of his hobbies was cooking, and he was gay.
