'True Vision' charts the journey of Diana Fisk, whose son Alfie at four months old was diagnosed with Nystagmus – a vision condition caused by an abnormal function in the brain. As Diana researched the condition, words like 'abused' 'bullied' and 'embarrassed' appeared as descriptors of the life children with Nystagmus experience growing up. Determined to provide a better future for Alfie, Diana needed to find someone who understood the challenges she and her family were about to face.
Screen Australia has announced $2 million in production funding for 11 documentary projects, seven through the Documentary Producer Program and four through the Commissioned Program.
