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.”

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.
