Sight

Ming Wang is an impoverished Chinese prodigy who escapes the turmoil of Communist China and carves out a life as a pioneering eye surgeon in America. When he is asked to restore the sight of an orphan in India—brutally blinded by her stepmother—his surgical skill becomes part of a larger journey that spans continents, cultures, and the fragile politics of care. The film follows Wang’s relentless pursuit of medical innovation and the moral weight that comes with wielding the power to change a life.

As the operation approaches, memories of the violent uprising in his youth during the Cultural Revolution resurface, forcing Wang to reckon with the trauma he fled rather than healed. The narrative weaves his past and present into an intimate portrait of exile, resilience, and the cost of redemption, showing that restoring sight is as much about confronting darkness within as it is about mending bodies.
