Review of Blindsight

When I first read about this documentary, I thought it was about the story of Eric Weihenmayer, who became the first blind person to scale Mt Everest. If you look at the image used to promote the film, you see a lone individual with arms upraised. But just minutes into the film it becomes apparent that this is not Eric’s story at all. This is the story of six blind children from Tibet who embark on a journey with Eric to scale a mountain next to Everest.
