Blindsight
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Himalayas, this inspiring documentary follows the gripping adventure of six Tibetan teenagers who set out to climb the 23,000-foot Lhakpa Ri on the north side of Mt Everest. The dangerous journey soon becomes a seemingly impossible challenge - made all the more remarkable by the fact that the teenagers are blind.
