NY Premiere

This intimate and powerful documentary follows Michael Naranjo, an Indigenous sculptor who became blind and lost the use of one hand during the Vietnam War. Through resilience, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to his craft, Naranjo develops adaptive sculpting techniques and continues to create deeply expressive work—on his own terms.

Dream Touch Believe is a moving portrait of artistry beyond sight and a testament to creative persistence in the face of profound loss.
