SEEING WITHOUT SIGHT

Although beauty comes in many forms and is expressed through diverse people, places, and objects, it is often assumed that beauty can only be perceived through sight. But how is beauty experienced by a woman with vision impairment?

SEEING WITHOUT SIGHT is a documentary that follows the inspiring journeys of girls and women with vision loss, challenging societal norms of beauty and inviting viewers to embrace a deeper understanding of what it truly means to see.

Women face higher rates of vision loss than men, with 64% of the 39 million blind people worldwide being girls and women.

This project is seeking post-production and distribution support.
