Echo - a documentary by the New Yorker

Do you have 17 minutes and want to see something truly amazing and inspirational? Don´t look further. This documentary from the New Yorker about Daniel Kish on how he developed Echolocation, based in clicks and its echo, to allow blind persons to become independent is nothing short of pure human ingenuity and inspirational! This technique allows blind people to rid bikes and skateboards, independently in a city environment, besides other more common tasks. His aim is to promote total independence for the blind. The picture below that portrait how Daniel and his students see the world is nothing short of presenting a difficult concept in one image. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
