The End of Blindness is the doc you never thought you needed, but after you watch it you realize it's exactly what you needed in today's cynical world. To see one man's journey to help thousands of people in the most inhospitable of conditions makes you realize there IS good in this world, and there ARE good people.
You will also be touched by the elderly couple highlighted in this film. If they were in America, they'd have their own show on TLC. You have such empathy and emotion for their struggle, but, more importantly, you can feel the love and care they have for one another, and how the doctor's surgery (and I won't spoil the lengths they have to go to get it, literally) changed their lives.
One shocking thing - Makeshift operating rooms with open windows to the jungle, wiped down, cleaned and sanitized...and not a single infection or problem in such seemingly unsanitary conditions. AMAZING!
This is definitely a feel-good doc you can watch by yourself, with a date, or with the family. The most important thing you'll take away is how just giving a little of yourself to help others can change THEIR entire worlds.
