Sight is an inspirational real-life drama biopic about the acclaimed surgeon Ming Wang. Born in China in the 1950s during the rule of Chairman Mao, Wang and his family was threatened with being deported to a remote area of the country as part of the Cultural Revolution; in an attempt to avoid being sent to a labor camp, Wang learned how to dance and play the erhu. With the help of his parents he eventually made his way to America with only $50 in his pocket and, after many years of hard work, earned a PhD in laser physics and graduated magna cum laude with the highest honors from Harvard Medical School and MIT. Wang is now a world-renowned laser eye surgeon and philanthropist, and is a Clinical Professor at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, while continuing to be a competitive ballroom dancer and professional erhu player. The movie is based on Wang’s 2016 autobiography ‘From Darkness to Sight,’ is directed by Andrew Hyatt, and stars Terry Chen and Greg Kinnear. Read more…
