“Magnificent…The tone of the narration is so wrenchingly honest that the film never lapses into self-pity or relies on mystical platitudes.” (New York Times)  

The great neurologist Oliver Sacks called the theologian John Hull’s memoir “the most extraordinary, precise, deep, and beautiful account of blindness I have ever read.” The same can be said for this astonishingly eloquent documentary, which brings to full, immersive life the audio diary that Hull (1935–2015) began when he lost his sight at age 48. We see, hear, and deeply feel his physical and emotional transformations—how he suddenly keenly appreciates the act of listening to music or the sound of rain falling on different surfaces, for example—in this “beautiful, accessible, and thoughtful work of art” (The Guardian).
