Blink

With three of their young family on a declining spiral of sight loss, the Pelletier's decide to try to take something positive from the time they have left together when they can all see and visit some of the most impressive, interesting, colourful and exciting places on Earth. For the next eighty minutes or so, we follow their adventure as they take to the water and to the skies, appreciate some of the greatest natural phenomena, and probably most importantly - they have fun as a family who all know that things will soon be much less enjoyable and care-free. The parents - Édith Lemay and Sébastian Pelletier carry out quite a juggling act as they strive to create an ordinary, unexceptional environment for their youngsters whilst always conscious of what travails are yet to come. Clearly, money doesn't seem to be an issue here, and so Mia, Léo, Colin and Laurent can embark on their travelogue enthusiastically - and at times that zeal for life and for each other proves a powerful fillip for all, including us. The photography is artfully delivered showcasing some of the astonishing features that grace this world, and the conversation is restricted to snippets of chat rather than any more formal narration, and I thought that worked well - even if, at times, I felt a little like an eavesdropper. Obviously not everyone has the resources to react to an upcoming trauma as these people did, but it's not really the scale of their Phileas Fogg-ness that stands out, it's the fact that as a family, and a largely aware one at that, they manage to navigate their trip - tantrums and all - in a fashion that provides hope for a future that will be different, but will also be peppered with memories they will never forget and that will be built on pretty solid familial foundations.

Wonder, Awe and Acceptance

I travelled the world for a year with my son when he was 3 months old. I travelled the world with him since then and met a few other families that travel with their children and sometimes home school them. I think it is the best gift and education to give them. When we see the beauty and diversity of the world we learn to be happy with less. We learn to see less differences and divisions. We also remember our role, our mortality and the smallness of our local thinking.This film explores these themes including the fear of losing our sight from illness. 3 out of 4 kids are already losing their sight and cannot see stars or well at all at night. This National Geographic doc explores the world with stunning footage from Egypt, Ecuador and Nepal among others. More importantly, it exposes the family dilemmas and joys. Their quest to live a bucket list now and not wait until it is too late. A reminder we should all have.The editing and storytelling are superb and many intimate scenes bring these profound questions to light with lightheartedness. How to accept the difficult. How to accept illness (and even death) with courage, kindness and love.A beautiful scene in a dessert sunset has the mom and daughter on a sand dune try to imagine traveling with no sight. Can we still connect with our other senses and with different people and cultures? Surely, yes. There is this constant hope and beauty in face of despair.A tribe in the amazon gives advice to accept life as it. Easier said than done. The dad reflects on how to let go of fear. Children play together and make new friends. No one wants to go home from this wondrous voyage. But will the awe transcend and stay after the tumultuous travel time?Back in my native Montreal, Canada, they reconnect with family and start school again. One kid mentions that being home is simply another voyage. The journey continues and the growth is constant. As adults we have to stay playful and open to possibilities. This film reminds us of so many reasons to be grateful to be simply alive. Awesome!More films like this should be made. It reminded me both why I travel and why I live with awe, wonder and gratitude in any circumstance. Very courageous and enlightening project to share with the world.Bravo!
