Today, National Geographic Documentary Films announced that its critically acclaimed and heartwarming film Blink will debut on National Geographic on Dec. 16 and stream the next day on Disney+ and Hulu. Both streaming services will feature a special English audio description version from launch, offering additional accessibility to audiences.
Releasing this holiday season, BLINK is a film to be enjoyed with the whole family. Hailed as “heartwarming” by Indiewire, “moving” by Variety and “profound” by Collider, Blink features French Canadian couple Edith Lemay and Sébastien Pelletier and their children, Mia, Léo, Colin and Laurent. Mia developed eye problems at the age of 3 and was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at age 7, a rare, incurable disease that leads to severe visual impairment. When her younger brothers Colin and Laurent received the same diagnosis, the family’s world changed forever. In the face of this life-altering news, they decided to set out on a journey around the world to build their visual memory and experience all its beauty while they still can.
The feature documentary from directors Edmund Stenson and Oscar® and BAFTA Award-winner Daniel Roher was released in over 250 theaters across the U.S. and Canada by Walt Disney Studios in October. Produced by Oscar and BAFTA Award-winners Melanie Miller, p.g.a., and Diane Becker, p.g.a., for Fishbowl Films, alongside MRC and EyeSteelFilm, Blink premiered at the 51st Telluride Film Festival going on to screen at Camden International Film Festival, Vancouver International Film Festival, Hamptons International Film Festival and London Film Festival, among others.
