Blindsight (PG) 4:30

This remarkable independent documentary has won an unprecedented 100% four-star reviews from US film critics. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Himalayas, it follows the adventures of six Tibetan teenagers who set out to climb the 23,000-foot Lhakpa Ri on the north side of Mt. Everest. A dangerous journey soon becomes a seemingly impossible challenge made all the more remarkable by the fact that the teenagers are all blind. Visited by famous blind mountain climber Erik Welhenmayer, the students ask him lead them higher than they have ever been before. The resulting 3-week journey is beyond anything any of them could have predicted.
