More Than Meets the Eye: The Joan Brock Story (2003)
Poorly researched
As a sufferer of Macular degeneration for over 5 years It is appalling to find such a poorly researched portrayal of the illness.
Macular degeneration does not leave you completely blind, it only affects central vision. Peripheral vision is unaffected.
The whole medical description is unworthy of the subject matter, even a simple internet search will show you the story line is pure fantasy. The fact I am typing this is fairly conclusive in itself.
It's a horrible condition which ruins lives but I resent it being used to glorify a tale which is obviously false.This movie is an insult to the millions who struggle on through life with the condition, most people don't even realise we suffer with it, this movie just encourages those who believe it to be some sort "con" to engender sympathy or financial aid.
rant over.
