At 26, Dagbjört learns she's blind since birth. With CVI, she navigates diagnosis & dream to be a music therapist, facing human rights obstacles. Dagbjört’s dream of becoming an opera singer and music therapist is challenged by an educational system that fails to support her vision impairment. Through her parents’ unwavering support, Dagbjört perseveres. But with their sudden passing, she’s left devastated. It’s only through her love of music that Dagbjört finds her purpose, ultimately finishing her opera studies and dreams about studying music therapy. Dagbjört's life-changing diagnosis of CVI at age 26 revealed a truth that was hidden for her whole life; she had been blind since birth and no one had directed it. The diagnosis came far too late, leaving Dagbjört with a lifetime of trauma and barriers to overcome. As Dagbjört nears the completion of her music degree, she knows she isn’t able to read sheet music, but isn’t sure how to communicate the struggles to the educational system. Alongside her friend Elín, she goes on a journey to Scotland, where they meet Dr. Gordon Dutton, a world- renowned expert in CVI, in hopes of finding a solution. Dagbjört's meeting with Dr. Dutton provides a crucial turning point. Through his examinations, Dagbjört discovers new insights into her CVI and learns about all the types of it that she never knew she had. Armed with a new understanding of her condition and practical tools, she returns home, better equipped to navigate her daily life. Moreover, Dr. Dutton's diagnosis underscores the injustice of Dagbjört's struggle to finish her degree. She is made aware that denying her right to be exempt from sheet music-based courses is a violation of her human rights. Empowered by this new knowledge, Dagbjört is prepared to face the barriers in her path with renewed determination. Fueled by her own struggles, Dagbjört, along with Elín embarks on a mission to end the discrimination faced by those with CVI and other disabilities. Having overcome unimaginable obstacles, Dagbjört is no longer willing to let society's limited views define her or others like her. But the question remains: will society listen to their call for change?

Get ready to be acquainted with 17 brave Icelandic women on the autistic spectrum in the documentary “Seeing the Unseen” The film sheds light on the lives of women and girls on the autism spectrum. Girls are much less likely to be diagnosed with autism than boys, with many being left undiagnosed until adulthood. Let's make a change! We hope to create a dialog with YOU after you have watched the film so that we can together work towards building awareness. Seeing the unseen is a global movement that aims to create acceptance towards women on the spectrum. Together we are more able to change attitudes and improve how people treat women on the spectrum. If the film inspired you, we would really appreciate if you could share it with friends that you feel should learn more about women on the autistic spectrum.

TEZAAB ('acid' in Hindi) is a documentary about women who have survived some of the most brutal manifestations of gender-based violence imaginable. The documentary sheds light on this horrific type of violence - and how the survivors of such attacks find the will to live and the way out of the enormous mental and physical pain that accompanies such an attack. The viewer also gets to know how - despite incredibly difficult circumstances, in a society that drives them away with apathy, prejudice, and ignorance - they rise up strong and proud. Lina Thoroddssen from VALA Motion Pictures - co. producer, director, videographer and editor Seema Kinchhi from Leaping Frog - Line and co. producer About Acid attacks have appeared across the world in relatively recent times, as modern technology makes large quantities of concentrated acids cheap, and readily available. Acid attacks, or “acid throwing”, have been declared a genderspecific crime, given the fact that at least 80% of the victims are women. Although acid attacks have been reported in many countries around the world, they are most common in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia and India. This story involves women from India and how they go about their daily lives after being attacked in this horrible, inhuman way. This is a documentary in making
