Blind Man Roams the Globe: Washington DC
Episode 2 of 3
Peter White has been blind from birth. He explores Washington DC through the sounds of the city.
Peter White explores the American capital, Washington DC, through the sounds of the city. He finds a city struggling to develop a transport system, which properly caters for all communities and he explores the gulf between the well off and those living hard at heel. He is forced to navigate a strange environment without being able to see his way around: βHaving been born blind, Iβve always travelled blind β and for me, sightseeing is more a case of βsound-hearing.β
