Blindsight

  The blind girl with 2 blind brothers and a blind father, whose mother died of a heart attack, leaving her daughter with no effective support.
Erik, the blind American mountaineer who volunteers to guide blind children up Everest.
The blind children have the additional challenge of performing an extreme feat blind.
Types of cultural diversity in the movie: the German woman who sets up a school for the blind in Tibet.
They are from western cultures, based on Christianity, as opposed to the traditional Tibetan culture based on Buddhism.
The bonding & sense of group belonging seemed to promote a greater mutual understanding and a greater sense of cultural diversity.
The greatest conflict within the group which we saw was between the westerners, some of whom wanted to go for the summit and others who wanted to turn back together.
