Shadows of Marilyn (2024)

Overview

A documentary project that follows a day in the life of Marilyn Kluge—a blind elderly woman living in a facility in Huntsville, AL. She has not always been blind, but after 5 years of struggles with faulty surgeries and glaucoma, she has lost her vision and must now navigate her apartment and daily activities. The stickers on her phone and washing machine remind us to appreciate the things we always take for granted. Her life story and memories also can challenge us to reevaluate what it means to “see” someone.
