Following last year’s incredible film Free Solo, Climbing Blind tells its story on a smaller but no less extraordinary scale. Blind climber Jesse Dufton has a goal to climb The Old Man of Hoy, a 449ft high sea stack off the coast of Scotland that intimidates even the most experienced climbers. Unable to see where his next hold is, Jesse relies on the help and support of his wife and climbing partner Molly to make his iconic ascent.
This is a gripping and inspiring documentary to prompt exploration of human endeavour and achievement, but also discussion of inclusion and diversity in sport.
Please note this title will be available on IFI@Schools until Friday October 22nd 2021.
