Planet of the Blind - the film- wins an award

I just visited Planet of the Blind - the blog - named after the book.

And read over there that at the recent Superfest International Disability Film Festival, a film based on that book (also named Planet of the Blind) won the Pamela K. Walker Award. I'd like to extend my congratulations to Steve.

When I read Planet of the Blind I laughed, I wept, I chuckled, I learned a lot- but mostly I was in awe of its lyrical prose matched by a voice so strong that it resonated long after I put the book down. It's a book everyone should read - apparently the film producer agreed. Congratulations to Producer Sven Werner of Luxemburg for the award.

I invite you to visit the Planet of the Blind. Just click above to visit the blog. There's also information on the blog about Steve's other books and speaking engagements - not to mention posts by Steve and Connie about disability events, happenings, organizations, etc. !
