Do You Dream in Color?

Blind Teens Fight Challenges in New Documentary

National Federation of the Blind promotes Film to

Increase Understanding Among Educators and Public

Blind people of all ages, their families, educators, and others who face discrimination based on low expectations will learn from these inspiring young people and their stories in

Do You Dream in Color?, a new, critically acclaimed documentary.

The documentary depicts the problems that blind students experience in public schools and other challenges that they face due to low expectations and misconceptions about blindness. A discussion and time for audience questions will be answered by local blind individuals following the showing of the film. The National Federation of the Blind of New Mexico will give a presentation on resources available to families with blind youth.

A screening of the film, hosted by the 

National Federation of the Blind New Mexico, 

will be held April 20, 2018, 7:30pm at the
