I watched all 3 parts of this.  It’s sad/amazing/weird/expanding.

documentary:

The Smartest Man in the World is about Chris Langan who has a very high IQ, somewhere between 195 to 210. In Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers: The Story of Success,” Gladwell writes about the issues surrounding people who have a high IQ yet aren’t as successful as he/she might think. Gladwell wrote about Chris Langan’s background to explain why Chris Langan’s not as rich or successful as people think he should be. Throughout the interview with Chris Langan, the viewer can start to tell what type of attitude Langan has towards academia. The documentary is a glimpse into a man’s potential and eventual downfall.
