Seva news– HBO Documentary and Olympic swimming partnership


A new HBO documentary OPEN YOUR EYES features the work of Seva Foundation

We at Seva are happy to share that HBO’s 2016 Summer Documentary Series includes Open Your Eyes, a film about our sight-saving work. Oscar-nominated, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Irene Taylor Brodsky skillfully documents the story of a husband and wife in Nepal who are both blind from cataracts and the heroic efforts of Seva outreach workers to help restore their vision. The film is screening regularly on HBO and on demand via HBO GO. Seva is encouraging members of The Life You Can Save community who have HBO to host viewing parties in their homes.
