This 60-minute documentary follows the ordeal that 11-year-old Jared and his family undergo when he is diagnosed with a rare hereditary disease that causes him to begin to lose his sight. Guilt, shame, and anger are unearthed within his parents, as Jared himself makes incredible self-discoveries as a result both of his loss of vision and his awareness of how the problem is affecting his family. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
