Dream Touch Believe features the inspiring story of blind, Indigenous sculptor Michael Naranjo. As a young man Naranjo lost his eyesight and the use of one hand in the Vietnam War. But he harnessed his inner vision, fought past critics and successfully achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a sculptor. Beyond his art, Naranjo’s inspiring journey is one that sparks hope in people of all ages and from all walks. This emotional and captivating story is ultimately a testament to resilience, creativity and the power of pursuing one’s dream against all odds.
