Video Extra: The Eyes of Me

Learn more on http://www.beyondthebox.org. This is the companion piece to The Eyes of Me, which airs Tuesday, March 2, on Independent Lens on PBS (check local listings). The film follows four visually impaired teenagers in Texas as they face the usual challenges of adolescence while simultaneously learning to navigate a world designed for the sighted. In this video extra, a new student at the school, Diane, explores a brand new store in the neighborhood and learns to navigate on her own, with the help of a coach.
