Blind AF

DETAILS:

EVENT TYPE: Spotlight

RUN TIME: 88 Minutes

A blind female Paralympic champion and multiple world-record holder sets out to become the first blind person to ride a single, non-tandem, bike across the US – 3600 miles in 60 straight days – while confronting painful truths about her past that she’s spent a lifetime trying to outrun. BLIND AF documents this historic test of the human spirit, and resilience in the face of fear, to tell a multi-faceted story of trauma, transcendence and healing power of self-belief.
WORLD PREMIERE
