Over the course of one school year, ANDHVISHWAS captures the stories of one extraordinary teenager 'Sheetal' at the Poona Blind school that has educated visually impaired students for more than 15 years. An extraordinary look into the world of blind teenager - where crossing an intersection, cooking a meal, or navigating unfamiliar areas is a challenge unlike any that sighted viewers must consider - ANDHVISHWAS offers fresh perspectives on growing up, fitting in, and preparing for adulthood. These stunning sequences expose what the students "see" in their minds as they share their personal stories. Forced to confront the world without sight, these girls impart their thoughts, perceptions, and inner visions of the outer world. Ultimately, they reveal, you cannot understand their perceptions without challenging your own. Written by Sartaj Aulakh See less
