Prize for the eyes: WHO honors film on Indonesia's pioneering women eye docs
![Two health workers see a patient. “Cataract cut my main income source," the patient said before she had surgery. "I cannot sell anything, I cannot write anything. It’s difficult to continue with my job.”](https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims3/default/strip/false/crop/2400x1601+0+0/resize/2400x1601!/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F5a%2F10%2Fa6bcb61546d8b90f763b2ee65c18%2Fidn22-022.jpg)
The short documentary is called The Visionary Women of Indonesia. It profiles women ophthalmologists who are addressing the high rate of blindness in their country — and fighting sexism as well.
