CLIMBING BLIND
2019, UK, 57 min
Director: Alastair Lee
Premiere in Basque Country
Jesse Dufton has retinitis pigmentosa. He was diagnosed when he was a kid and it has reduced his vision to near blindness. Far from allowing this to be an impediment when it comes to climbing, Jesse only takes on bigger challenges. He wants to be the first blind person to make a 'non-sight' lead of the iconic Old Man of Hoy sea stack in Scotland, teamed with his girlfriend Molly and without any prior attempts.
