I See You

2014 · 76 min

A quiet, intimate documentary that asks you to sit with one person's experience and truly see her.

Overview
In this intimate portrait, we follow Rena as she makes the transition from youth into adulthood. A journey fraught with limitations and prejudice. She is blind, but her biggest dream is not to be able to see - it is to be seen for who she is.
