Description
Summary:	Dane and Richard's artistic abilities are astounding. They are acknowledged artistic geniuses, yet both have IQs of less than 60, difficulty communicating and can barely function in the outside world. They are known as Savants - people in whom a spectacular island of genius exists in an otherwise damaged brain. This film explores a new and tantalizing theory that claims these incredible abilities can be tapped within all of us.
