In 1983, after years of progressive illness, theologian and writer John Hull completely lost his sight. “I knew that if I didn’t understand blindness, it would destroy me.” With this awareness, Hull began creating an audio diary in which he recorded the painful, yet liberating and transforming journey to the depths of his own soul, demonstrating that the physical disabilities and hurdles life brings can become enriching experiences if tackled head on. The talented directors have succeeded in a powerful and original movie that combines scenes from Hull’s family life played by actors lip-syncing the actual voices of family members (the same method used in Clio Barnard’s The Arbor – KVIFF 45), employing voiced over excerpts from Hull’s diaries and expressive shots to explore the feelings of those afflicted with blindness. This skillfully assembled collage is a fascinating philosophical portrait of a strong individual who was able to turn a challenge into a gift.
