Present Documentary on Blind Youth<br><br>
<br>
</b></h1><h2><b>Do You Dream in Color? Tells Stories of Blind
Students</b></h2></div>
<b>Baltimore, Maryland (April 4, 2017):</b> The National Federation of
the Blind, in collaboration with the filmmakers, is proud to present
<i>Do You Dream in Color?,</i> a new, critically acclaimed documentary
about blind youth and the educational and societal challenges they face.
The film, directed by Abigail Fuller and Sarah Ivy, is available through
video-on-demand platforms from Uncork’d Entertainment, and public
screenings are being planned.<br><br>
Connor, Nick, Sarah, and Carina are like most teenagers navigating the
growing pains of high school, but unlike their peers these four teens
face another challenge – they’re blind. <i>Do You Dream in Color?</i> is
a poignant coming of age story that captures the inspired journeys of
four courageous teenagers as they strive to achieve their goals: to be a
sponsored skateboarder, to travel the world, to become a rock star and to
be the first family member to graduate high school. Their extraordinary
stories shine a provocative light on both the social and institutional
obstacles faced by people who are blind in the sighted world and what it
takes to surmount these barriers.<br><br>
Mark A. Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind,
said: "This film is a beautiful and powerful chronicle of four young
people striving to achieve their goals and live the lives they want in
the face of the low expectations and misconceptions that too often erect
barriers between blind people and our dreams. In particular, the film
accurately portrays the ways in which our public education system fails
blind students. Watching it deeply moved me and made me more determined,
as a blind person, a father of blind children, and the leader of the
National Federation of the Blind, to fight all the harder for young
people like the courageous, focused, and charismatic teens we see on
screen. The National Federation of the Blind is pleased and proud to work
with the makers and distributors of this well-crafted and enlightening
movie to bring it to a wider audience. This collaboration is a natural
fit for us because the film highlights the need for our continuing work
to
<a href="https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=7960&qid=1757799">
promote Braille literacy</a>, expand opportunities for blind students in
<a href="https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=7961&qid=1757799">
STEM education</a>, advocate for
<a href="https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=7962&qid=1757799">
equal access</a> to educational technology, and fight for the
<a href="https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=7963&qid=1757799">
legal and civil rights</a> of blind students throughout the nation. We
believe that the stories told in this film will spark discussion and
enhance understanding of the true challenges faced by the blind, as well
as demonstrating that blindness itself is not the characteristic that
defines an individual or his or her future."<br><br>
A winner with film festival audiences and critics, garnering major awards
at the Dallas International Film Festival, San Luis Obispo International
Film Festival, and Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, <i>Do You Dream in
Color?</i> has been described as “powerfully human" by Truth on
Cinema and as "a film that will touch your head and your heart"
by Unseen Films.<br><br>

About the National Federation of the Blind<br><br>
The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.<br><br>
