synopsis

When Optometrist Alana discovers her daughter has a rare inherited eye disease, she must look into her past to realize her vision for the future. A judo athlete with a vision impairment halfway across the world may hold the answers she is searching for, but old truths threaten to derail the mission and Alana’s marriage. Can she save her daughter’s sight without losing everything else she holds dear?

Inspired by true events and starring Adam Garcia (Coyote Ugly, Bootmen), Tsu Shan Chambers (Suka, Remnant), two-time Paralympic champion Eduardo Ávila Sánchez and Kieu Chinh (The Joy Luck Club, The Sympathizer), MY EYES is a heartfelt family drama about the power of unconditional love.
___
My Eyes is a powerful social impact film that shines a light on the often-overlooked experiences of individuals living with disability, particularly those navigating life with vision impairment. Through a deeply human and emotional lens, the film challenges societal perceptions and encourages audiences to reflect on inclusion, accessibility, and the importance of empathy. By amplifying voices that are rarely heard on screen, My Eyes aims to spark meaningful conversations and drive real change in how we see and support one another in our communities.

A portion of every ticket sold for ‘My Eyes’ will be distributed evenly among a group of outstanding organisations dedicated to eye care and blind sports.”

75% of vision loss is preventable or treatable.
