I saw a phenomenal documentary today! It's only playing for another few days and it is only at the IFC Center in the Village (6th Avenue and West 3rd)
It's called Blindsight and it is about 6 teenagers who attend a school for blind children in Tibet (where blind people are shunned from society) who invite Erik Weihenmayer--the blind mountain climber who climbed Mt. Everest to lead them on their own hike in the Himalayas. Definitely worth seeing!!
