Shot in the Dark (2017)
Shot in the Dark is a documentary on three blind photographers: Pete Eckert, Sonia Soberats and Bruce Hall. A documentary on three blind people who devote their lives to creating images. What do they see in their mind's eyes? Do they sense that which we sighted miss, overlook, or don't take into consideration? Their images, as we sighted can see, are extraordinary. "Even with no input the brain keeps creating images," says Pete Eckert. Sonia Soberats states, "I only understood how powerful light is after I went blind." Shot in the Dark is a journey into an unfamiliar yet fascinating realm. "My camera is like a bridge," claims Bruce Hall. All these photographers embrace fantasy, chance, and contingency at a fundamental level. Shot in the Dark enriches our understanding of perception and creation. We all close our eyes in sleep, the sighted and blind alike, and in our dreams - we see.

Very disappointing...
Simply Perfect
How sad is this?
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Really interesting show covering really interesting people with really interesting jobs. I truly never knew they existed as freelances, never really new the details of where those TV images came from.After 1 episode it all becomes obvious and the 2nd episode it becomes 'normal'.**double spoiler alert** And then there is the obvious question of morality. We were watching a car in the dark while the camera-man was seated in a car with lights, horns and the works. The cameraman then decides to film across a highway that isn't all too busy. He doesn't, and waits for the money shot.... which comes. He could have easily put on his alarm lights and shine the light of his camera onto oncoming traffic, or even do that safely from behind his own car. He would have slowed oncoming traffic down a lot. To me, we were witnessing a crime being committed. Immorality of a profession?
