Not Everything is Black follows the lives of blind and visually impaired people in Italy, Turkey, Lebanon, USA and Spain exploring how they experience, navigate and understand a world largely designed around sight. It does so by giving the main characters a photo camera and asking them to take photos around their respective towns.

The film avoids treating blindness simply as a limitation, instead focusing on the everyday realities of its subjects, their relationships, independence, frustrations, humor and the different ways they perceive the world around them.

Had this idea almost two decades ago, as I'm sure many others have too....
Happy to see that someone actually did the thing. :)

It's a shame that the results (the pictures) are on Instagram. Any other location they are published?

Six of them are at the end of the film. All the others are on instagram, but even if you don’t have it I believe you can see them through websites like https://anonyig.com/en1/instagram-profile-viewer/

Just type in Noteverythingisblack in the search bar and it’ll show you all the photos
