In Touch

The politics of power and blindness – part two


Listen Later

This is the second episode of our series examining the times in our lives as blind people when we are faced with a loss of control and power entirely caused by our visual impairment. Both programmes look at ways of gathering yourself, restoring your dignity, suppressing that sense of powerlessness, and giving you back the control everyone needs to be functioning adults. Situations like feeling loss of control because of access, orientation and/or mobility.

Handing power over to someone else over something you need help doing. Our thanks to everybody we spoke to during researching these programmes.

Presenter: Peter White

Producer: Lee Kumutat
