Director, Producer, DP, Editor / The Blind Leading the Blind
This is a short film pulled from a larger work about disabilities and rehabilitation in Southern Mexico. The two characters are at different extremes of their rehabilitation journeys.
Mariano has been blind for eight years but because of his work in part with Piña Palmera, a clinic on the coast of Oaxaca, he has become extremely independent and now teaches orientation and mobility classes to others.
Migue has been blind longer but has only recently arrived at Piña. He has a long road ahead of him to gain the experience and self-confidence to operate independently in a world often poorly adapted for the blind.
