- Robert Browning





Video 1 Description:  At five years old, Juliana has already been through thirty operations to mediate the severity of her affliction:  Treacher Collins syndrome.  Juliana was born with one sealed eyelid, a complete lack of cheekbones, no nasal passage and almost no upper and lower jawbone.  






Video 2 Description:  This is a documentary about a boy (Ben Underwood) who has taught himself to use echo location to navigate around the world.  Ben Underwood is blind, but has managed to do some truly extraordinary feats.  


[6:17]  "When he woke up from the surgery, and he said 'Mom, I can't see anymore! I can't see anymore!' I told him.  I said, 'Yes, baby you CAN see.'  I said, 'You can see with your hands.' And I put his little hands on my face and I said, 'See me?'"
