In partnership with ITVS and the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, WTTW invites you to attend a free screening of the new Independent Lens film The Eyes of Me which will air on WTTW11 in March.

Let’s face it… high school can be brutal with struggles to fit in, prepare for college and live independently. Step into the hallways of a unique high school and follow four students grappling with these usual teenage concerns - all while being blind. Director Keith Maitland takes an extraordinary peek into their world where learning to cross an intersection, cook a meal or navigate an unfamiliar place can be a much more difficult than any calculus lesson.

This is a free event.
