Blindsight

Blindsight

In May 1998, Sabriye Tenberken and Paul Kronenberg established the Rehabilitation And Training Centre For The Blind in Tibet, the country's one and only school for the blind children to prepare youngsters for the hardships of a life in perpetual darkness. This documentary travels to the remote mountain region to meet Tenberken as she joins forces with world-renowned, blind mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer to achieve the seemingly impossible: to climb the 7,000 metre Lhakpa Ri peak near Mount Everest's north face with a group of her students.
