From fingertips to freedom — learning beyond sight and sound.
In the 1970s, four young people who were deaf and blind became participants in a Soviet experiment that lasted six years. With the dedication of defectologists, all four went on to earn higher education on par with sighted and hearing peers. Journalist Regina meets Alexander Suvorov, one of the participants, to introduce audiences to the extraordinary world of those who experience life through touch, memory, and perseverance.
