Montreal family documents global journey in new film 'Blink' to create lasting memories

A Montreal family, Édith Lemay and Sébastien Pelletier, traveled the world with their four children to create lasting visual memories. This journey was inspired by the news that three of their children would eventually go blind due to retinitis pigmentosa. Their experiences are captured in the documentary "Blink," directed by Edmund Stenson and Daniel Roher. The film emphasizes the children's input in planning their adventures, allowing them to explore activities that excited them, such as visiting Japan and riding camels in the Gobi Desert. "Blink" will premiere on National Geographic on December 16, followed by releases on Disney+ and Hulu. The documentary is part of the "For the Love of Docs" series, which highlights unique storytelling in documentary filmmaking.
