Going Blind Movie Discussion
LBPH is excited to share that we will be having a facilitated discussion with the director of Going Blind, Joseph Lovett, and the Lovett Production's Manager, Jordan Hawks. This event will be held via teleconference and will feature patron submitted questions.
Patrons are encouraged to watch the film Going Blind by April 30th. That evening, join us for a facilitated discussion about the film, featuring your questions.
Movie summary:
GOING BLIND is a documentary film by Peabody Award-winning producer/director Joseph Lovett, that looks at each aspect of vision loss: detecting, treating, and coping. Joe Lovett has glaucoma, a disease that robs 4.5 million people worldwide of their vision. After years of slowly losing his sight, Joe decides to take action: to investigate how people all over the country respond to vision loss. His search begins in his home of New York City with people Joe meets on the streets, and gradually leads him to places and people around the country, all of different ages and backgrounds. Each has a fascinating story about dealing with the vision loss caused by sight-robbing diseases, infections, and accidents.
