We have crossed the finish line! After years of passionate work and with much generous donor support, Sense The Wind is now fully released and available on Vimeo On Demand and ITunes streaming as rental or download purchases. The movie version with audio description will soon be live on ITunes. Accessible viewers, please stay tuned! The film will be made available again on Amazon and other platforms in the near future.
The film may also be purchased on DVD and limited copies are available. Each copy comes with menu options for captions and audio description. To request your film DVD, please email Christine@SenseTheWind.com.
And, we are thrilled to announce that Sense The Wind is being distributed internationally through Ananda Media, a French distributor specializing in action sports and adventure travel programming for television and digital media. Sense The Wind may now be seen in Columbia and Asia.
TESTIMONIALS
Thank you again for presenting your Sense the Wind documentary to the National Maritime Historical Society. We were riveted by the fascinating subject of blind sailing and the awe-inspiring cinematography, and deeply moved by the captivating lives of the sailors in the film.

Wonderful production and a great insight on blind sailing at the individual/personal level. I thought the movie did an excellent job indicating how blind individual sail and its remarkable effect on their
lives. Bravissimo!

I've been around the blind sailors these past days and thought I understood, but after seeing the film... now I really get it.
