This is a video clip of Kanalal Chakraborty, a totally Blind person, on whom a documentary film was made by Supriyo Sen titled "Swimming through darkness". This documentary has an eleven minute clip in the internet. Kanai had his school education at Helen Keller Blind School, Krishnagar, Nadia. Struggling against poverty, family support, other help, Kanai decided to make a difference in life by pursuing swimming as a hobby against heavy odds. Kanai came to our library decades ago for education support in his HS studies. Later we lost track of him. In our Santipur Workshop on 7-8 September last Samrat Chakraborty, a free lance film maker spoke to me about Kanai and immediately I spoke to him over phone. This morning he arrived at our Library and here is video clip of his own statement.
