The video discusses 'Touching the Light', Cuba's first movie club for the blind and partially sighted, sponsored by the Cuban Film Institute and National Association for the Blind. It highlights the club's mission to integrate visually impaired individuals into society through cinema, using audio descriptions to enhance the film-watching experience. The club has shown over a dozen films since its inception, and organizers aim to expand its reach across the island. The video also shares the personal story of Oscar Caballero, a former actor who lost his sight, and his renewed connection with cinema through the club.
