I am watching BLINDSIGHT the documentary and all I have to say is WOW!

I just started watching BLINDSIGHT. It is a documentary about how Sabriye Tenberken, founder of Braille without Borders and blind herself, contacted Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind person to get to the top of Mount Everest.

She asked Erik if he'd lead a team of teenagers from her school and helped themclimb Mount Everest. He accepted the challenge and went one step further. He made sure the adventure would be documented.

I will write a proper review. Just wanted to give you the heads up with the trailer.

Just, wow!

Words to live by "As the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen [Muslims] ... it is declared ... that no pretext arising from religious opinion shall ever product an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.... "The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation." — -- Treaty of Tripoli (1797), carried unanimously by the Senate and signed into law by John Adams (the original language is by Joel Barlow, U.S. Consul) Subscribe Buttons
