The documentary tells the story of six blind men and their guide dogs who took part in the annual March of the Living programme, walking from Auschwitz I to Auschwitz II-Birkenau (Poland).
The goal of the walk is to honour the victims of Nazi genocide as well as fight against ‘prejudice, intolerance and hate’.
Blind Love will serve as the closing event of the international travelling exhibition Seeing Auschwitz.
The documentary has a running time of 30 minutes with free entry, but patrons can donate R50.
There will also be English and Hebrew subtitles for the documentary.
