Description:

Join Boston Cares for December’s Social Cinema educational program.

How do you see yourself, when you can't see at all? At the Texas School for the Blind students juggle all the usual pressures of high school along with the added struggles of growing up blind. Spend a dynamic year with four blind teens learning how to fit in and live independently. Forced to confront the world without sight, they share their inner-visions of the outer world. Ultimately, you cannot understand their perceptions without challenging your own.

This event is part of PBS' Emmy winning series Independent Lens, a new monthly film series hosted in partnership with Boston Cares and ITVS Community Cinema. The Independent Lens series offers preview screenings of films covering a range of current social issues and intended to connect communities with organizations, information, and the opportunity to get involved.

T-Accessible, Green Line (Copley).

This screening is free and open to the public. You do not have to be a member of Boston Cares to attend.
