Director: Salome Cummins
Brailled It is a documentary that puts blind and low-vision young people behind the cameras as they document the annual Braille Challenge in Los Angeles. The result is an unusually direct perspective on competition, friendship, nerves, and achievement because the participants themselves help shape what viewers see.
The documentary is also concerned with representation and accessibility. By giving young participants control of the filmmaking process, it changes the usual relationship between documentary subject and camera while keeping the Braille Challenge at the center.
Brailled It is traveling through a limited theatrical and community-screening release, followed by a virtual viewing window. Check these services and the official film site for current access.
