Aging Well Film Night
The Aging Well Film Night will feature the movie I’m Only Blind. Admission to the film night is free; no registration is required. Seating is limited.
I’m Only Blind follows the story of Tim Paul, a 66-year-old blind marathon runner who has never allowed his disability to define him. Paul has completed more than 20 marathons, participated in several triathlons, and even downhill skis. Despite the challenges he has faced, Tim continues to show determination and resilience.
The film is directed by filmmaker Kamelya Alexan. Both Tim Paul and Kamelya Alexan spent parts of their lives in Evanston, and we are excited to welcome them back for this special Aging Well Film Night.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with both Kamelya Alexan and Tim Paul.
