OUT OF SIGHT! explores, for the first time ever, the rich history of sport and leisure as experienced by Ireland’s blind and vision impaired athletes, their families, friends, and coaches, recounted in interviews with athlete and Vision Sports co-founder Joe Geraghty.
Dance along with Paralympics gold star Jason Smyth; swim with teenage sensation Róisín Ní Ríain; spin in tandem with Katie-George Dunlevy, cycling’s most successful Paralympian ever; swing with ex-NYPD captain Paul McCormack who lost his sight after the 9/11 attacks before turning to blind golf; and jump into the world of multi-sport with seven-times Paralympian Catherine Walsh.
You’ll meet these sportspeople and many more who were struck down with sight loss but kicked on in sports including blind football, adapted rugby, tennis, or picked up the pieces with braille chess. In a “can’t see, can do” world, anything goes.
