The story of the first blind Chinese person to summit the world’s highest mountain makes for a compelling documentary
China’s blind population has struggled to be seen for decades. Despite improvements in regulations that promote the provision of braille and voice broadcasts in public spaces, most visually impaired people are left with few employment opportunities apart from in ubiquitous blind massage parlors or as piano tuners. This all makes Zhang Hong’s epic feat of climbing the world’s tallest peak, captured in new documentary film Invisible Summit, all the more impressive.
