God Made Them Blind

God Made Them Blind is the story of John Fawcett's seemingly impossible mission to reduce the phenomenal number of cataract blind people in Indonesia. It is a story about faith, tenacity, the clash of cultures and personal transformation. Four years in the making, the film reveals how John's life-altering quest brings him into conflict with Hindu beliefs in Karma and black magic, resulting in profound personal transformations on both sides. Slowly but surely this gentle man coaxes a fearful population to understand that the Hindu rules of Karma and the miracle of modern medicine can co-exist. This is John's story and the story of three Balinese whose lives he collides with and changes forever World Premiere Johathon Todd, Director to speak at the screening.
