33 years later, there is a possibility that Richard may regain

the soldier who shot him. Blind Vision follows Richard Moore
on these two revealing journeys.
Slim is intelligent and creative, not to

The FILM DUBLIN Partnership is committed to:
• Working in partnership to improve access to Dublin for film & TV production
• Expanding the contribution that film production makes to the Dublin economy
• Enhancing Dublin’s international reputation as a film-friendly city
• Ensuring images of Dublin appear on film and television
