This doesn't sound like the movie we were against last year at the national  
convention. I'm a little confused. Is WCB supporting a movie that should be  
celebrated or do they have the plot of the movie wrong?

Tibet story  ignites Seattle’s blind community

With so many focused on the Dalai  Lama’s visit and the Olympic torch,  
Seattle’s blind community  eagerly awaits the opening of “BlindSight”  
this Friday at the Metro  Cinema, 4500 9th Ave. NE (in the University  
District).

The  movie features the gripping adventure of six blind Tibetan  
teenagers  who set out to climb the 23,000 foot Lhakpa Ri on the north  
side of  Mount Everest with Erik Weihenmayer, famed mountain climber,  
and  Sabriye Tenberken, their mentor, founder of Braille Without  
Borders,  and one of Oprah's Phenomenal Women.  ( The May book pick  
for  the Visually Impaired Readers Book Group is Sabriye Tenberken's    
autobiography My Path Leads to Tibet - Call the Washington Talking   
Book and Braille Library  (206) 605-0400  to order a copy  )
