[Greater-Baltimore] Going Blind Movie Discussion with Director Joseph Lovett

[Ashley Biggs -LBPH-]

Hi everyone!

LBPH is excited to share that we will be having a facilitated discussion
with the director of Going Blind, Joseph Lovett, and the Lovett
Production's Manager, Jordan Hawks. This event will be held via
teleconference and will feature patron submitted questions.

Patrons are encouraged to watch the film Going Blind by Monday, May 3rd,
noon. That evening, join us for a facilitated discussion about the film,
featuring your questions.

Movie summary:
*GOING BLIND is a documentary film by Peabody Award-winning
producer/director Joseph Lovett, that looks at each aspect of vision loss:
detecting, treating, and coping. Joe Lovett has glaucoma, a disease that
robs 4.5 million people worldwide of their vision. After years of slowly
losing his sight, Joe decides to take action: to investigate how people all
over the country respond to vision loss. His search begins in his home of
New York City with people Joe meets on the streets, and gradually leads him
to places and people around the country, all of different ages and
backgrounds. Each has a fascinating story about dealing with the vision
loss caused by sight-robbing diseases, infections, and accidents.  *
