The trailer's really good. It's a it's 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.280 a documentary. It's a small documentary. Actually it's only good. 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:27.480 Right. 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.480 Well, it will expand, but it's gonna be at it's 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.280 not open yet, no one second. 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:34.879 Um. 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:40.159 It'll begin at New York's Squad Cinema on September fourth, 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.159 and then we'll quickly expand with a screening at the 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:47.360 Library of Congress in DC, followed by additional engagements in 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.360 other cities. So it'll go New York Library of Congress 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.319 and then it'll start to open up, right, And it's 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:54.720 a documentary. 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:56.760 Called Brailed It. 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:03.720 Every year, the top eight Top under eighteen so eighteen 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:09.120 U Braille readers and writers from across the English speaking 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:13.679 world gather in Los Angeles to compete in the Braille 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:20.360 Challenge for one weekend. Blind and low vision kids are 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.920 no longer the minority in the room, they make new friends, 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.959 face off against old rivals, and chase a rare chance 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.480 to be recognized not only for their disability but for 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:37.400 their skill and brailed it. The camera is placed directly 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.959 in their hands. As the kids document the competition themselves. 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.119 They're fragmented imagery and candid moments of nerves, boredom, joy 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:45.800 and triumph. 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:47.320 And then it goes on and does it. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.080 The trailer's amazing, The trailer's great, and it is it's 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:51.840 all blind kids. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.240 So what exactly happens just speaking of the competition itself, 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:57.320 what happens. 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:01.600 Showing the competition is so in so in the in 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.640 the in the trailer, right, you get parts of like 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:10.600 meeting the kids, right, so like you meet one girl, Yeah, 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.040 a little bit. I don't know how much of a 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:16.160 backstory you get, but like, some of these kids could 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:21.760 not be more competitive, right, Like, it's no different than 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.800 any other competition. And so I assume that some of 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.600 these kids have been going year after year after year 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.920 to compete. And there are some of them, some of 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.240 these kids where it's like where they're like, you know, 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.720 it's a competition, it's not the end of the world. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.840 And then the blind kids like, yeah, it is like 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:44.320 it like it's everything to them, Like this is their competition. 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.000 It's like the spelling Bee where they spend all year training. 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.720 Yeah but yet yet, Yes, but it's also it's it's 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.880 the spelling bee, it's a hockey tournament, it's a dance competition. 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:02.280 It is like that's their thing. So they go in 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.200 there and the competition part of it. They sit it 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.919 these brail machines. I don't know what you call them. 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.920 I have no idea what the real term is. And 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:16.320 if that's offensive, I'm sorry, but it looks like the 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:22.240 brail people type writers. That's probably also offensive, And for 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.919 that one, I am sorry. No, what do you call it? 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.360 What do you call it? What's the braille machine called 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.120 a brailer? There's no way it's a brailer. 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:32.560 I don't know. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.200 Is what is it called the braille type machine? 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.200 It's commonly called a braille writer or a Perkins brailer. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.280 Oh so you were right? Oh good for you. You 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:42.680 knew that. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:44.839 I guess it. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.280 I guess mine too. 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.000 You just threw together three words and hoped they made 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:51.760 some sense. 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:57.080 These kids sit there on these brailers, Diane. It is 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:04.240 it's amazing the speed in which they're I guess you 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:04.960 call it typing. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:06.920 I don't know what you call it. I'm not blind. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:07.760 I don't have one of these. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:10.520 Now, that. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.000 Might be the most defensive thing you've said. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.040 But it is amazing to watch them type on this. 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.440 So you said speed inaccuracy. I get that right. I 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.960 wondered and or compared this. I guess to the spelling 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:28.400 Bee the five core categories that they are tested on. Okay, 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:33.520 speeding accuracy is one, yes, spelling obviously, Well, isn't that accuracy? 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:38.000 But anyway, it doesn't matter. Go ahead, proofreading, oh reading, 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:43.080 comprehension and tactile charts and graphs interpretation. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.040 If I'm being completely honest, I've never thought of a 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:55.760 braille graft or graph the like. Listen, I can't read 0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:02.760 brail the no, I can't, but we've all felt it, right, Yeah, 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:05.640 I hope that this is meaning. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:06.960 I don't mean for it to be. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.479 But like you get in the elevator or an eighteen 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.359 nine and there's brail, like you'll touch it, and so 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.600 you're somewhat familiar with that. Again, I can't read it. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.920 I think it is unbelievably impressive. I shouldn't say that, Remember, 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.279 if you're if you're blind, that's what that's your language. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.960 In Brad Meltzer's Iron Heelen color book, they had Brail 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:26.240 in it. 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.560 Yeah yeah, which, by the way I read the. 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.640 Words, I think, whether it's some sort of a machine 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:38.599 or an elevator or even that book, the children who 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.800 are cited being exposed to that is touching thing. 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.240 I agree, I agree. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.720 But if you're blind and you could read Brail, like, 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.159 I'm not celebrating that, like that's your thing. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:51.279 You should be able to do that. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:53.680 But it sounds like these kids are reading at a 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.599 pace that goes beyond normal. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.320 Oh yeah, But what I was going to say is 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.320 I don't imagine graphs, you know what I mean? 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.720 Like I like I do. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:08.600 I can't think of any graphs right now, but diagram 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.159 right that would be hard in brail. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.040 Let's pull up an example. 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:20.240 Okay, you could just do dots. I won't know what 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:27.280 it is there are. 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.239 But so anyway, there's the competition part of it where 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:35.520 they're they're they're at the the brailers. 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.560 And these kids are banging along, banging along. 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.760 Now they don't show them doing like reading and stuff 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.960 like that, but then you see them like at the 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:49.000 at the hotel where the competition's taking place, right, and 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.400 it's it's it's every hotel that I've been in for 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.520 hockey tournaments, or or for dance tournaments, or for anything. 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:01.760 It's every Hampton in that you been in, except instead 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:06.120 of lugging around hockey bags, they're lugging around blind sticks. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:07.479 I don't know what those. 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:15.080 Are called either, Jesus Christ. The wands a wand I 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.560 don't know what it's a kazam? 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.360 What is that called? Are you a blind stick? You're 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.600 kill a blind cane? 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.160 No, it's not a it's it's just a cane. It 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.760 doesn't have to have a word blind in it. 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:31.960 But it's not a right. No no, but it's not 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.400 no no, but it's not it's not no. If I say, oh, 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.560 he walks around with a cane, you're not picturing a 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:41.440 blind cane. 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.040 I didn't notice. They're called white canes. 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:53.000 Thank you anyway, So like they've got those. 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.040 Or on Amazon canes for the blind. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.720 The thank you that makes more sense. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.200 This girl gets my favorite part of the trailer. It's 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:04.600 like all of them just being kids. This girl gets 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.480 in the elevator right, so she's on the fourth floor, 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.080 whatever floor she's on, and she pushes the button and 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:12.360 she waits, and I. 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.320 Guess she knows the dang and the door open or whatever. 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:26.880 She walks in and maybe this is common with blind people. Yeah, 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:28.640 which she gets in the elevator. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.240 God, I hope people realize you're quoting the teaser. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.800 Yeah, she gets it. He goes hello. 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.000 I don't know, how's that funny. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.040 Because she didn't know if anybody's in the elevator. Oh oh, 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:47.120 so she's got it. 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.920 So if somebody responds and she starts up a conversation, yeah. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.080 Like, if I get on the elevator, I can see 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.359 someone's on there, and if I get on the elevator, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.280 assuming they can also see, they see me. 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:04.440 Get on, so I don't have to say hello, but 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.920 they do. It's like that was awesome. 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.600 And then there's the one girl who's running down the 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.679 sidewalk because she's all excited, but her her what is 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.600 it called her cane or her white cane is on 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.640 the right and misses her her sister's legs, so she 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.240 slams right intoor. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.360 It's awesome. It's good. But the trailer is so good. 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.360 By the way, if you have a moment today. 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.760 The way braille depicts a vent diagram is fascinating because 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.719 it's written like a statement, and. 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.000 Oh so it isn't a graph. I mean it is, 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:41.600 but it's not. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:43.200 What is it. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.760 It's like you don't see like in a zen diagram. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.880 It's the two circles and they overlap, so but you're 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.200 not feeling a circle in a circle and what's in 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:51.680 the middle. 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:56.720 No, you're just reading a line. And the braille indicates 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.520 if the subset includes, there, doesn't include, or can tains 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:06.000 are therefore such that no elements empty set. It's wild 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:11.120 and I understand what they're trying to communicate, but it's 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:18.040 really interesting. I don't remember what did the passage in 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:19.319 I am Helen Keller. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.600 What did it say? Do you remember? 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:28.760 Oh? Hello, anybody in here? 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:31.040 Okay? 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:39.880 I understand that it is something that might happen. I 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.440 believe you that it happened in the trailer. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.240 It's the trailer. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.400 But was it meant to be comedic? 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:45.760 Yes? 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.959 I think it was like to show this is if 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.600 you're blind, like, think about I never thought about it. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.480 I just think, of course, blind people use the elevator. 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.240 I've seen it blind John's been up here. I'm sure 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.960 he didn't take the stairs with his dog. I'm sure 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.800 I took the elevator. But you just take for granted. 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.240 You get on the elevator, you see somebody, you give 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:06.000 him the head nod. 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.200 But you can't head nod if you can't see him 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:09.480 because you're blind. 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:15.880 So you get in Hello, but it's almost like you're 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.559 affecting your voice like there's an echo. 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.360 Well what am I supposed to do? Get on there 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.960 and go hello? Hello? No, you gotta be kind of 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:29.679 open with it. Can I go to line one pulling 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:30.280 up the trailer? 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:30.360 Ha? 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:30.679 Oh? 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:31.400 You have to. 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:34.320 Hi elliot in the morning. 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.000 Hi, I'm blind, I'm a Keen user and I have 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.040 two Perkins brailers.

It is that I know that I 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.880 did a competition. I never went. I never traveled for 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:06.679 I grew up in upstate New York, what part near Albany, Oh? 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:07.120 Okay. 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.720 So so you did a competition and it's and it's 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.880 a Perkins brailer, like you said the the speed in 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.559 which these kids are typing is unbelievable. 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.840 How how often do you use it? 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.880 Right now? I only use it for shopping lists, can 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.160 and keeping keeping score and scrabble. I haven't used it. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.000 I used it all to high school for taking notes. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.880 Can I can? I ask you this? So you use it? 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:43.040 So? 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.320 Like what I don't? I don't know how the machine works? 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.000 But you use it and you're typing it, and then 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.080 whatever whatever you type is in braille and then it 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.320 comes out so like you can, like your shopping list, 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.440 you can then take to you can take to the store, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.359 and you could read your shopping. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.800 List right right, I have. 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.320 So my theory is I have enough sight to see 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.240 the shelves, but so if I can use my eyes 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.120 on the shelves that I don't have to keep moving 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:10.959 my eyes back and forth to my list. I can 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:12.240 use my fingers from my list. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:13.240 That's cool. 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.439 Is does the brailer work like if you were if 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.400 you were not, if you were never sighted, or you 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:24.080 were fully blind and you couldn't use a typewriter. Is 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.400 there a way to use one of those Perkin brailers 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.840 to type? But it comes out as a piece of 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:32.200 paper that I could read. 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:33.320 I can't read brail. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.280 Yes, I had. I had a machine called a brail 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.480 in print back when I was in middle school high school. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:46.720 And you took your brail Perkins, your Perkins brailer, the 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:51.520 big metals thing that weighs fifteen pounds, took the bottom 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.080 off of it, put it on top of this metal platform, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.440 and that hooked that platform with like springs on it 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:04.240 that match the buttons inside the brailer. It catched that 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.080 platform to a regular printer, and then you would just 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.080 like you could roll your paper into the brailer type 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.400 and brail and then press press a button and it 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:14.400 would come out in print. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:16.120 That's that's janius. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.480 I was afraid I was asking a stupid question, if 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:19.280 I'm being honest. 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.440 And then there's there's been several things. I mean, there's 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:33.840 brail displays where you've got as you're scrolling down a 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:40.160 computer screen, you can read line by line the electronic thoughts. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:41.840 We learned how you read graphs. 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:49.280 Uh, yes, I I remember graphs. You either mark them 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:54.240 up in brails, just by moving your cursor, so to speak, 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:58.040 across the different lines. Or you could also use like 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:03.160 a a with like a rubber like a rubber pad 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.560 underneath it and just kind of press really hard, make 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:08.880 invitations that way, gotcha? 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.120 Gotcha? Hey? Last thing, when you get in an elevator, 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:12.880 do you go hello? 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:15.960 No? 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:22.320 But I mean it's it's always fun when people I 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.600 suppose me too, you're not paying attention and you just 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.520 barrel into each other on the way and round. 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.600 All right, very good, very good.

And it really is impressive. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.360 There's not a person listening who types that fast. 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.520 I don't know. Some people are no tyler. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.960 You saw them the one thing that it makes total sense, 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:01.680 but your first caught off guard seeing it.
