I filmed and edited this for Sightsavers International who treated Mohammed Adil, age 6, for a cataract in 2011. Adil’s family, who live in a working class neighborhood of Kolkata, were initially apprehensive about the idea of medical treatment for their son’s condition and sought the help of a spiritual healer. With pressure from Adil’s school, the family eventually took Adil for a cataract operation. There is a good chance now that treatment will allow Adil to fulfill his potential.
