Description
George Mendoza's blindness developed at age 15, while he was training for his school's basketball team. After struggling in vain against his loss and his deep depression, he visited a small rural sanctuary in New Mexico and was blessed with a miracle. This is the story of his victory against darkness. Subject of a PBS-TV documentary, Mendoza will be featured in an upcoming issue of People magazine.
