Set in smalltown USA, Blind Ambition is the story of Sapna, a pretty, smart, fun-loving teenager who is all about celebrating life despite being legally blind. Sapna aspires to run a marathon as a tribute to her late mother. Supported by her quirky brother Surya and eccentric local auto mechanic Wild Bill, she convinces the solitary teacher Autumn Milestone to be her coach. Sapna’s resilience and determination serve as an inspiration for everyone around her facing their personal tribulations. This film is also a romantic coming-of-age story filled with light-hearted humor as Sapna goes on her first date, has her first kiss, goes to the movies, and even drives a car.

The film Blind Ambition will offer descriptive video services for the blind. Headsets will be distributed 30 minutes before showtime and patrons are advised to arrive early.

Free to ages 15 and under

warm and uplifting movie, with a good dose of humor to make it an enjoyable watch. although there are some cliched moments, they can overlooked for some good performances, especially from the lead actress.
