[il-talk] Fw: The Eyes of Me Premiers on PBS Tonight

[sharon howerton]

It was on Channel 11 in Chicago at 10 PM Tuesday evening. I think there is a 
way to get it from their web site but not sure. We had gotten a message at 
Hadley (where I work) that it was to be seen at 9 PM, but the time was 
incorrect.

>>> Tonight, March 2 at 9PM CST PBS premiers of the documentary The Eyes of 
>>> Me on the series Independent Lens.
>>> More than 9,000 students across the United States attend residential 
>>> schools for the visually impaired. Over the course of one school year, 
>>> THE EYES OF ME captures the stories of four extraordinary teenagers at 
>>> the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, a public 
>>> residential high school in Austin that has educated visually impaired 
>>> students for more than 150 years.
>>> An extraordinary look into the world of blind teenagers — where crossing 
>>> an intersection, cooking a meal, or navigating unfamiliar areas is a 
>>> challenge unlike any that sighted viewers must consider — THE EYES OF ME 
>>> offers fresh perspectives on growing up, fitting in, and preparing for 
>>> adulthood. Chas is passionate about creating hip-hop music. Yearning for 
>>> independence, he moves out of the school dorms at 17 to live in his own 
>>> apartment. Meagan, the school’s valedictorian, is also focused on her 
>>> future, and has plans to begin college in the fall. Fifteen-year-old 
>>> Denise is living away from her family for the first time, making new 
>>> friends after years of isolation at her old school. And freshman Isaac 
>>> is adjusting to being blind for less than a year.
>>> THE EYES OF ME captures a textured portrait of these students’ lives at 
>>> school, off-campus, and in their hometowns with their families. The film 
>>> features stylized rotoscopic animation produced by Jason Archer and Paul 
>>> Beck, who worked on Richard Linklater’s WAKING LIFE, and made with the 
>>> help of the students. The animated interludes are accompanied by a lush 
>>> and distinctive soundtrack from an array of independent Austin musicians 
>>> including Sparrowhouse, Brazos, and American Analog Set. These stunning 
>>> sequences expose what the students “see” in their minds as they share 
>>> their personal stories.
>>> Forced to confront the world without sight, these four remarkable 
>>> teenagers impart their thoughts, perceptions, and inner visions of the 
>>> outer world. Ultimately, they reveal, you cannot understand their 
>>> perceptions without challenging your own.
