'Blindness' to be protested by blind activists


September 30, 2008 Blind people quarantined in a mental asylum, attacking each other, soiling themselves, trading sex for food. The organization plans to protest the movie, released by Miramax Films, at 75 theaters in the U.S. when it's released Friday. "Blindness" director Fernando Meirelles, an Academy Award nominee for "City of God," was shooting on location Thursday and unavailable for comment, according to Miramax.
