Patch Adams

Patch Adams (1998) charts the irreverent rise of Dr. Hunter "Patch" Adams, a medical pioneer who embraced laughter as a curative force in the 1970s. Defying convention, Adams used clowning and comedy to engage with his patients, often at the peril of his professional reputation. His unorthodox approach to healing, captured with earnestness and charm, underscores the transformative power of empathy and joy in a rigid medical establishment.
