Jack Chen and Dan Berlin caught a vision to fundamentally alter the way that employers think about talent in the blind community. Both blind, they knew that their positions as Assistant General Counsel for Facebook and CEO of a large food company were not aberrations. In this gripping documentary, they set out to prove to the world that people who are blind could be successful both on and off the bike, in the saddle and in the boardroom.

Campaign: Imagine this…  The most challenging cycling race on the planet. 
​3000 total miles Across North America  - Coast to coast from California to Maryland  Non-stop, no checkpoints, Riding approximately 22 hours a day - For 9 days

​An ultra-distance road cycling race, one-third longer than Tour De France,  completed in one-third the time 

… Now imagine you completed the race in just 7 days. Your CREW earns the most outstanding crew recognition - The Lee Mitchell Award. … and oh, the leaders happen to be blind.​

Now, stop imagining, because this IS the real life story of the Race Across America 'Team Sea to See', who set out to show the world “success” both on the road and in career and in life ––– beyond limits, beyond assumptions, and beyond the radical underestimations and overlooked abilities of the blind. 

Surpassing Sight follows this limit shattering team that determined to help the world SEE the limitless, unseen potential within us all, and to challenge the business world, society, and individuals to see clearly the vast, aggressive, astonishing ability of the blind and vision-impaired.

Surpassing Sight is a movement in every sense, to open minds and hearts to human potential, creative problem solving, and to an entire population of our community that has gone unseen, under-considered and radically underestimated… despite ALL their abilities.

What we cannot SEE in sight we sense with heightened almost superhuman ability across every other sense.

If the seeing world could understand the powers of perception we have, when the dominance and constant distraction of sight is absent, the THEY would SEE. ”

Opening society and the business world’s SIGHT to their pervasive unconscious bias, dramatic underestimations, and misinformed assumptions, we are all challenged to aim higher, SURPASSING what we think or have been conditioned to think is possible.
