THE EYES OF ME

By Keith Maitland

Let's face it - High school can be brutal. The struggle to fit in, prepare for college and live independently. Step into the hallways of a unique high school and follow four students grappling with these usual teenage concerns­­all while being blind. Director Keith Maitland takes an extraordinary peek into their world where learning to cross an intersection, cook a meal or navigate an unfamiliar place can be a much more difficult than any calculus lesson.
