ARE YA BLIND OR WHAT?
My new Radio Documentary follows a group of visually impaired people in the process of making a radio play. Members of Sightless Cinema speak about how they live without light.
The documentary is the result of months and months of conversations, train journeys and rehearsals. Are you blind or what? is about the ability for members to let the light in, even when you cannot see. The documentary reveals that it's not always about the Radio Play or the performance, but rather the journey.
