Excellent! I wonder what's the back story? How did this come about?

This is a good portrayal of us in the media. 

If you're blind be sure to read the description below.

It is a little on the Hokey side but it starts out with a Blind man using an
NFB rigid white cane with the cork handle. He takes the sighted family on a
trip with their Outback and they go different places. One of the most
interesting aspects is the end of the commercial, they are going in the
forest and it is turning dard. The sighted woman trips over a rock and the
blind man turns and smiles wryly and then you see the woman take his arm and
he guides her into the forest.
