What Are The Differences Between Born Blind & Becoming Blind? (feat. Christine Ha)
Tommy Edison teams up with Christine Ha (winner of MasterChef season 3) to show the differences between being blind since birth like himself and becoming blind later in life like Christine by having director/producer Ben Churchill asking each of them the same questions about topics like dreaming, eye surgery, and if they wish they were born blind or lost their sight later in life. Tommy’s blindness is caused by an underdeveloped optic nerve and Christine’s blindness is caused a rare autoimmune disease called Neuromyelitis Optica.
MUSIC “Autumn” by Kevin Graham “Franz” by Tomáš Herudek “Like We Used To” by Sample And Hold “My Only Love” (Instrumental) by Duffmusiq “Born Twice” by Mark Tracy “Embracing” by One More Time “Once Upon A Time” by Alex Keren
Tommy Edison, who has been blind since birth, talks about describing colors to blind people.
