Blindsight
Aroview: Riveting doco follows the travails of six blind Tibetan teenagers in their attempt to scale the 23,000-foot Lhakpa Ri - neighbour to Mt Everest.
Dir. Walker's even-handed, unobtrusive approach serves this documentary well, allowing the story to unfurl deepening cultural differences and conflicting aspirations between the Tibetans and their Western guides. The panoramic scenery is a joy to behold, too.
