Blind in the Baystate: Stories from Across the Generations

OVERVIEW

Blind in the Baystate is a documentary film that highlights the stories of legally blind people throughout Massachusetts who grew up in different eras, exploring the impact that technology, disability legislation, and availability of services have had on people’s success and on public perceptions of blindness and disability. Polus requests support to provide paid internships for two young blind filmmakers, to hire videographers to teach and support them, and for travel costs.
