Description:Extraordinary People: The Boy Who Sees Without Eyes
(International Version)
Ben Underwood has been completely blind since the age of three when he lost both eyes to retinal cancer. Yet he zooms around on a skateboard,shoots basketball hoops and dodges lampposts and parked cars unaided; all thanks to an extraordinary sound technique he has developed. The technique is called echolocation - used in a highly developed form by bats and dolphins. The film explores Ben's remarkable life and the challenges he faces as he grows up and wants to become more independent.
