Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Wiseman enumerates the sights and sounds of Talladega, Alabama — the railroad tracks, quiet streets and homes, a few shops downtown — almost as if to list those things most of us might take for granted. Of the four films in this series, Adjustment & Work focuses entirely on adults—specifically those who have recently lost their sight (and hence are adjusting to this change) and those without sight or hearing who are learning skills in order to enter the workforce.
