ANTHONY (Screening Introduction: Prayers & Chants by Gyuto Monks, Traditional Dance by TAFM Dancers) Director: LUCY WALKER Blindsight follows six vision-impaired teens in Lhasa, where blindness is often regarded as a sign of demon possession, as they attempt to scale a 23,000-foot peak on Mt. Everest, led by Erik Weihenmayer, the only blind man to have climbed Everest itself. |
Shunned by their families, the children have been taken in by fearless adventurer Sabriye Tenberken, founder of Tibet’s only school for the blind. In their dangerous three-week expedition, they brave ravines, the weather and altitude sickness with rare fortitude in this springboard for adventure amid a raw beauty that seems to thwart even their amazing human ambition.
