This documentary explores a series of workshops where visually impaired individuals were invited to write and perform poems reflecting on their experiences of sight loss. Alongside these powerful performances, we feature interviews with staff from three different institutions, offering valuable insight into the realities and intricacies of working with visual impairment. Each poem is not only outstanding and deeply personal, but the creative processes behind them, whether through technology, collaboration with friends, or other forms of support, are just as remarkable and unique.
