In 1983, after decades of steady deterioration, writer and academic John Hull became totally blind. To help her understand the turmoil in his life, he began keeping a diary on audiotape. Over three years he recorded more than sixteen hours of material, a unique testimony of loss, rebirth and renewal, excavating the inner world of blindness. Published in 1991, the diaries were described by author and neurologist Oliver Sacks as "A masterpiece...The most accurate, profound and beautiful account of blindness that he has ever read." NOTES ON BLINDNESS is a multi-platform project based on John's original audio recordings. The project includes a feature-length documentary and a virtual reality project released alongside the film.
