Six Dots: a Story of Young Louis Braille, by Jen Bryant | Nominee 3 of 3
Louis Braille, blinded in childhood by an accident, was so determined to read that he invented his own alphabet. It must be noted that Louis was a child inventor who worked alone and without public support or financial backing. Living in a converted prison building and already suffering the early signs of lung disease, he managed to create a system of reading and writing for the blind that is still in use today.
Video Six Dots presented by Christine Sharrock.
