A young blind woman leading the seeing through her world and her experience of not being taken seriously. Her desire is not to see. It is being seen by us. I See You is the film about Rena Yass. Rena is blind, but that is only a small part of who she is. She often says that her main problem is not her visual impairment, but society’s attitude to it.
