Himself Synopsis:Featuring exceptional people doing extraordinary things, "Blindsight" is one of those documentaries with the power to make you re-examine your entire life - or at least get off the couch. Filmed primarily in and around the cascading Tibetan Himalayas, Lucy Walker's astonishing film follows six blind Tibetan teenagers as they attempt to scale the 23,000-foot Lhakpa Ri peak on the north side of Mount Everest. Led by Erik Weihenmayer, the only blind man to have climbed Everest itself, and accompanied by their fearless teacher, Sabriye Tenberken, the teenagers brave ravines, altitude sickness and inclement weather with the kind of fortitude only the shunned possess. When you live in a culture that believes the blind to be either sinners or inhabited by demons, a lack of oxygen is not such a big deal. What is a big deal, at least to Ms. Tenberken - a trailblazer who has used her own blindness as a springboard for adventure and innovation - is that her students receive a comprehensive sensory experience. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Himalayas, "Blindsight" follows the gripping adventure of six Tibetan teenagers who set out to climb the 23,000-foot Lhakpa Ri on the north side of Mount Everest. The dangerous journey soon becomes a seemingly impossible challenge--made all the more remarkable by the fact that the teenagers are blind. Believed by many Tibetans to be possessed by demons, the children are shunned by their parents, scorned by their villages and rejected by society. Rescued by Sabriye Tenberken, a blind educator and adventurer who established the first and only school for the blind in Tibet, the students invite the famous blind mountain climber Erik Weihenmayer to visit their school after learning about his conquest of Everest. Erik arrives in Lhasa and inspires Sabriye and her students Kyila, Sonam Bhumtso, Tashi, Gyenshen, Dachung and Tenzin to let him lead them higher than they have ever been before. The resulting three-week journey is beyond anything any of them could have predicted. Erik Weihenmayer accomplished the unthinkable when he climbed to the peak of Mount Everest despite being blind. His daring especially impressed Sabriye Tenberken, a blind educator and adventurer who established the first school for the blind in Lhasa. She invited Weihenmayer to meet her teenaged students. Together they concocted a plan of astonishing courage to lead six of the blind teenagers on an ascent up the 23,000-foot Lhakpa Ri peak on the north side of Everest.
