Extraordinary People – The boy who sees without eyes [2/5]

February 27, 2010 - 2:36 pm 25 Comments

This is a documentary about a boy (Ben Underwood) who has taught himself to use echo location to navigate around the world. Ben Underwood is blind, but has managed to do some truly extraordinary feats.

I’ve cut this documentary up into 5 parts, and all can be found in my profile, or below.
