BLINDSIGHT

The documentary, Blindsight, is the story of a 2004 expedition when Erik and his Mt. Everest team, attempted to guide six blind Tibetan teenagers to the 23,000 foot Lhakpa Ri on the north side of Mount Everest.
Blindsight was directed by Lucy Walker, who also directed the award winning documentary, THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND. It was Produced by Sybil Robson Orr and Steven Haft, also Producer of DEAD POET'S SOCIETY.
The film recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. One reviewer wrote, "Blindsight premiered today at the Varsity theatre, garnering possibly the loudest and longest applause of any Real to Reel film so far at the festival. The film's director, Lucy Walker, documented the amazing story of six blind Tibetan children attempting to climb a 23,000 foot peak near Mount Everest in 2004. The children were lead by their teacher, Sabriye Tenberken, who is also visually impaired, and Erik Weihenmayer, a blind man who climbed to the top of Mount Everest. Filled with emotion, struggle, triumph and a rousing rendition of "Happy Together", Blindsight instantly became a festival favorite. Great cinematography combined with a complex journey of self-discovery and teamwork will have many festival goers talking about Blindsight."
