Blind Song

Description

This documentary presents a unique convergence of music and history as a choir composed of both sighted and unsighted members travels to Japan. Their purpose is to honor the Goze, blind female musicians whose tradition has its roots in medieval times but has largely disappeared today. Throughout their journey, the choir members engage with the remnants of this musical legacy, highlighting the cultural significance of the Goze while sharing their own experiences and voices. As they sing and reflect on the lives of the Goze, the choir members confront the challenges of preserving a fading tradition. The film culminates in a moment that leaves them contemplating the future of this art form, as their paths intertwine with the echoes of history and the realities of modern existence.
