Notes on Blindness (U, 90 mins)
★★★★
In 1983, the British theologian John Hull finally went completely blind. By the time the last flicker of light died he had already developed survival strategies.
In 1980, when his sight first began to fail, he had asked: “How do blind people read big books?” and received the depressing answer: “They don’t.” So he requested that friends and colleagues make recordings of numerous academic books on cassettes, and for several years sought to master “all of those little tricks” that would let him navigate a new world without sight.
