		<description>Mika,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What in the film causes misconceptions about those who are blind?  What negative stereotypes and misconceptions are present?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please give specific examples so that I can be sure to look for those and try to understand your point.  I&#039;m more than happy to support those who feel they&#039;re being treated unfairly, but just to throw out accusations doesn&#039;t really help any cause.</description>
