Imagine being born blind, but with perfect pitch. That’s the real life story of Rachel Flowers, who was born premature and with vision impairments, but with a strong gift for music.
The documentary, Hearing is Believing, which follows Flowers’ journey, screened at the San Luis Obispo Film Festival in March and is now available for streaming on Amazon and for download on iTunes and Google Play.
Flowers is a 23-year-old singer/musician and lives in Oxnard. She is a very active part of several jazz lineups in California and is currently composing original songs and orchestral works. For more information on Hearing is Believing, visit hearingisbelievingfilm.com.
