After losing sight, John Hull knew that if he did not try to understand blindness it would destroy him.  Hull’s diaries, published in 1990, were described by author and neurologist Oliver Sacks as, ‘A masterpiece… The most precise, deep and beautiful account of blindness I have ever read.’  Now Hull’s journey to self-discovery is brought to life in this magnificent documentary.
