- Synopsis
- San Paolo, south Rome. January 2023. A Winter evening, one of those cold, damp ones. As he does every Friday, Marco scrambles onto the baseball field to direct his team's practice.
  At the orders of the coach, an amputee of his right leg, a group of blind players run, sweat, huff, and defy the freezing weather to prepare for the upcoming baseball championship.
  It is the Roma All Blinds.
  Alfonso, Giuseppe, Moutie, Martina, Anna, Yeraldyn, Andrea and Jacopo are a group of visually disabled people united by a friendship born through a common passion: baseball for the blind.
  All Blinds is a tale of a journey with eyes closed.
  A journey that starts from the sports chronicle of baseball championship games to telling the story of their daily lives divided between work, sports, and social activism.
  What emerges is a portrait, at once intimate and collective, of lives marked by daily confrontation with blindness, a disability considered among the most penalizing that has forever changed their lives.
  
  ALL BLINDS is the story of the baseball team for blind people in Rome. An original tale where the chronicle of the team's sporting events is seamlessly interwoven with the daily, personal and intimate lives of the players.
  A dry, lucid look, at once emotional and rational, that avoids the classic rhetoric of sports as a chance for individual and social redemption in order to offer us a portrait "from the inside and from below" of human dignity.
