This is the story of Courtney Blum and her daughter Reese: a normal three-year-old in every way, who one day, for no apparent reason, suddenly went blind. It’s about their family’s fight to save Reese’s vision as she went into the dark, and their personal journey as they came into the light, discovering that being blind doesn’t mean you see any less of the world.

Sir Robin Millar is a legend. He’s produced gold and platinum-selling records and launched the careers of artists such as Sade, Phoebe Bridgers and Cigarettes After Sex. But he wasn’t always so comfortable in his own skin, or revealing to others in the music business that he was losing his vision. It all came to a head in his mid-thirties, as he returned to produce Sade’s second album, only to have his functional eyesight give out almost entirely. Today, Robin is an incredibly accomplished, insightful and kind musician, businessman and philanthropist, and we were so pleased to sit down with him for this wide-ranging discussion about his life and career.
