Courage Chapters: Tim Paul, I’m only blind
Whitney sits down with an extraordinary individual, Tim Paul, a blind man whose life journey is anything but limited by his disability. Far from being defined by what he lacks, Tim has embraced life with a bold spirit, diving into a wide range of experiences, including sports, many might assume out of reach for someone without sight.
Tim's story is one of courage, resilience, and a refusal to let perceived limitations hold him back. Whether it's skiing down snowy slopes or navigating the complexities of everyday life with humor and grace, Tim’s approach challenges stereotypes and opens eyes to what’s truly possible.
His inspiring journey comes to the big screen in the upcoming documentary, I'm Only Blind. This powerful film offers a deeper look into Tim’s life, his challenges, triumphs, and the message he’s passionate about sharing with the world: disability does not mean inability.
Catch the documentary screening from September 12th–18th at the Pickwick Theatre.
Screenings run at 2pm, 4pm and 6pm daily.
Tickets are available on the Pickwick Theatre website and on Fandango.
Don’t miss this moving and motivational film that will leave you with a new perspective on determination, joy, and what it truly means to "see" life.
