Daniel, Selina and Steve are three blind or partially-sighted teenage students at the Royal National College for the Blind in Hereford. This Cutting Edge film ollows the students over a three-month period as they begin a journey towards greater independence.
The film explores how they adapt to the college way-of-life, learning invaluable lessons, often the hard way, about improving their Braille, using a cane, cooking for themselves and the important issues that affect all teenagers: sex, love, partying and 'what am I going to do with my life after I graduate?'
