Although I saw this documentary under unfavorable circumstances (in Portuguese, with Spanish subtitles), it remains in my mind and heart. Based on well-edited clips from interviews with nineteen visually impaired people, some totally blind, others with serious but correctable vision difficulties--many of the people interviewed famous for their accomplishments--the film reveals ways that perceptual problems can shape rather than wreck people's lives.
The interviews with a Brazilian fisherman, Nobel prizewinning Portuguese writer Jose Saramago, and a self-accepting woman artist who has taken advantage of her blurred vision in her work have stayed in my mind's eye. I learned that Oliver Sacks, whose books are packed with intelligence and emotion but not visual detail, has had severe myopia since birth.
IMDb readers may be most interested in hearing what Wim Wenders and Agnes Varda have to say. The film, 73 minutes long, is available in a version with English subtitles.
