The Weight of Water
March 14, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
The Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired presents the film The Weight of Water to the Latchis Theatre, 50 Main St., Brattleboro, on Saturday, March 14, at 4 p.m.
The 79-minute movie follows blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer’s experience kayaking the Grand Canyon. This award-winning, cinematically beautiful documentary captures the emotional, psychological and physical challenges faced by Erik as he kayaks the Colorado River through the ancient landscape.
The film will be shown with audio description mixed with the soundtrack to give visually-impaired guests a film experience free of headphones and special technology, and sighted patrons an immersive experience in how a film is accessed, experienced and understood by a person with a visual impairment. There will be a Q&A session with representatives from the VABVI community following the movie.
Tickets by donation, suggested donation $10. Proceeds benefit the Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired. For information, visit latchisarts.org or vabvi.org.
