Nespatřené (The Unseen), 1996, Czech Republic, 53 min.
Director: Miroslav Janek
This documentary takes place in a school for blind children in Prague. Its title, “the unseen”, refers to the way that these children were for too long hidden from the public eye, as if their disability were shameful. Janek’s challenges this prejudice by allowing the children to tell their own stories. Their own narration, their music, and photographs shape this witty film.
