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. </i><br></div><div><i><b><br></b></i></div><div><b>To watch the film:</b></div><div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:inherit">Original Version: </span><br></div><div><span style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0,173,239);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:inherit;padding:0px;line-height:inherit;border:0px;background-color:transparent"><a href="https://vimeo.com/316603259" target="_blank" style="color:inherit;box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration-line:none;font-size:16px"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;padding:0px;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit;border:0px;background-color:transparent">https://vimeo.com/316603259</span></a><br></span></div><div><span style="box-sizing:border-box;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:inherit;padding:0px;line-height:inherit;border:0px;background-color:transparent"><font color="#000000"><br></font></span></div><div><span style="box-sizing:border-box;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:inherit;padding:0px;line-height:inherit;border:0px;background-color:transparent"><font color="#000000">With Captions: </font></span></div><div><span style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0,173,239);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:inherit;padding:0px;line-height:inherit;border:0px;background-color:transparent"><a href="https://vimeo.com/404572911" target="_blank" style="color:inherit;box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration-line:none;font-size:16px">https://vimeo.com/404572911</a></span><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="box-sizing:border-box;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:inherit;padding:0px;line-height:inherit;border:0px;background-color:transparent"><font color="#000000">With audio descriptions: </font></span></div><div><span style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0,173,239);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:inherit;padding:0px;line-height:inherit;border:0px;background-color:transparent"><a href="https://vimeo.com/404572911" target="_blank" style="color:inherit;box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration-line:none;font-size:16px">https://vimeo.com/404572911</a></span></div></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>To submit up to 3 questions for the facilitated discussion, please click here:<a href="https://forms.gle/gZS1tG4omqZnPewU8"> https://forms.gle/gZS1tG4omqZnPewU8</a></div><div><br></div><div>Then join us Monday, May 3rd at 6:30 PM via our teleconference line: (319) 527-4994 to listen to the facilitated discussion. </div><div><br></div><div>If you have any questions, please let me know off the list!</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Ashley</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;border-collapse:collapse">
