Film Screening | Ocean of Obstacles

Ocean of Obstacles reveals the story of a dozen blind teenagers as they complete a life changing voyage. The first-time crew dubbed “The Blind Buccaneers” will navigate and sail on the open water, embarking on a seven day voyage at sea. Circumnavigating the waters of the Caribbean they overcome nature, fatigue, and the scrutiny of naysayers, but their biggest obstacle will be their own physical limitations and fear of failure. These stories of challenge and inspiration will show the world that the human experience can become a beacon for all when they are set to a monumental task.
