Born Blind
About the event
In the Mauritanian desert, there is a village where half of all children are born blind. No one knows why. A documentary short directed by actor and filmmaker Ângelo Rodrigues.
Sidaty, Sidi, Aminetou and Moctar live in Dali Koumbe, a village in Mauritania founded by blind people. In their memories and everyday lives, the belief that blindness is God’s will takes on different meanings. Some call it a blessing. Others simply say they wouldn’t change the way they were born.
