Lorenzo’s Oil (1992)

Until about the age of seven, Lorenzo Odone was a normal child. After that, strange things began to happen to him: he would have blackouts, memory lapses, and other odd mental phenomena. He is eventually diagnosed as suffering from ALD (adrenoleukodystrophy), a sporadic, incurable, degenerative brain disorder. Frustrated by the failings of doctors and medicine in this area, the Odones begin to educate themselves in the hope of discovering something that can halt the disease’s progress.
