Martino Unstrung

What is the self? How much change can it survive? The film 'Martino Unstrung' explores the nature of memory, self, creativity and the mysterious brain mechanisms underlying the construction of personal identity.

Director Ian Knox and neuropsychologist Paul Broks travel America in search of the soul of the legendary jazz guitar great Pat Martino, tracing his remarkable return from the depths of amnesia to the peak of artistic achievement.
