Called "Simultaneously a sports adventure film, a tear-jerking tale of hope and inspiration and a captivating meditation on culture clash" by the SF Chronicle, this astonishing documentary about a group of young blind Tibetan children led on a hike up Mt. Everest, by world renowned blind climber Erik Weihenmayer, also raises important questions that resonate far beyond the subject at hand: "What is the meaning of accomplishment, and how do you define triumph?" Featuring exceptional people doing extraordinary things, BLINDSIGHT is "one of those documentaries with the power to make you re-examine your entire life" raved the NY Times. Entertainment Weekly added "an observant film about profound East-West differences in the importance of journey versus destination and comradeship versus competition." In English and Tibetan and German with English subtitles. 104 min. Rated PG.
