Blindsight, to quote the NY Times, is "one of those documentaries with the power to make you re-examine your entire life." The film follows a group of Tibetan teenagers with vision impairments as they climb Lhakpa Ri, a peak in the Himalayas. Accompanied by their German teacher and Erik Weihenmayer, the only blind man to have surmounted Mt. Everest, the culturally ostracized young men and women display astonishing fortitude in the face of altitude sickness and frightening weather conditions. The winner of several international awards, this movie beautifully showcases the resilience of the human spirit.Interested in this documentary? Indiana resident? Contact us!
