Why These Stories Matter
Film has the unique power to illuminate the human experience, foster empathy, and challenge perceptions. The documentaries and films featured here do more than tell stories—they invite audiences into the lives of remarkable individuals who are redefining what it means to live with vision loss.
These filmmakers and subjects are members of the Foundation Fighting Blindness community, each navigating their journey with blinding diseases including retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and Stargardt disease. Through their courage to share their experiences on screen, they raise awareness and inspire hope as we work toward our mission: driving the research that leads to preventions, treatments, and cures for blinding diseases.
These films showcase resilience, creativity, and the indomitable human spirit. They remind us that vision loss is just one part of a much larger, richer story of adventure, growth, artistry, and connection.
