CWP Film Center Presents: How I See It: Rocco

  • The Sanctuary at The Center at West Park 263 West 86th Street New York, NY, 10024 United States (map)

When Rocco Fiorentino was born four months premature, doctors gave him a less than 5% chance of survival. His unyielding spirit shone through from the beginning, and while  his retinopathy of prematurity left him completely blind, he overcame the odds and  began an incredible life journey. His music-filled story  explores the nature of inner vision and deep human connection, and reveals that sometimes our eyes get in the way of true seeing.  

After the film, there will be a talkback with director and filmmaker Daria Zawadzki, co-director and filmmaker Karen Shapiro, Emmy winning producer and filmmaker Shaun Kadlec, and Rocco Fiorentino.
