Screening of the documentary 'El extraordinario viaje de Carlos y Alvin'

Jericó 2026, 

The documentary El extraordinario viaje de Carlos y Alvin is about other ways of seeing the world and a friendship that can help us shed stereotypes and stigmas in relation to blindness. Directed and produced by the BBC Mundo journalist, Andrea Díaz Cardona, it tells the true story of Carlos and Alvin, born in Colombia and the Bahamas, respectively, but with parallel lives: after meeting by chance, they realised that they were both premature babies and became blind as the result of the same medical error.

Duration: 18 minutes
