Something to nudge you out of your comfort-zone!
You might think YOU have problems once in a while!
Little Emily Wu was born blind in one eye (The film is actually correctly known as EMILY'S EYE), totally deaf and was expected to be intellectually impaired to say the least - she had other ideas!
This powerful and sensitive documentary (more a docudrama) chronicles the enormous obstacles both the young girl and her family have had to overcome to deal with these issues, and how at three years of age she has finally been able to communicate with others - something the unimpaired take for granted. Watch THIS and perhaps you won't.
Made in 1998, EMILY'S EYE was extremely well directed by Jessica Douglas Henry, the interviews with her parents John and Jenny Wu bring home to any clear thinking viewer/parent the hardships that such tragic suffering inevitably must bring. I watched this with tears in my eyes and its only when I really think about it that I realise THEY are the fortunate ones....WE are the real losers!
