A girl stands in the middle of a large field grasping a cricket bat, listening intently as her opponent hurls a large rattling ball at her. This is cricket for the visually impaired - a modified version of South Asia's most popular game that's giving many blind people in Nepal a new lease on life. Its introduction into this mountain kingdom is due to former army captain Pawan Ghimire, who began promoting the game after being blinded in ambush by Maoist guerrillas and subsequently attending a training camp in Pakistan which changed his life. Ghimire now devotes much of his life to the cause, in a personal quest to show the blind aren't useless.

About Al Jazeera - Witness

Rageh Omaar presents Witness, a half-hour daily documentary series which features short, specially commissioned or acquired films gathered from independent filmmakers.
 
Each documentary reveals the unknown lives of ordinary people, following their lives, telling their stories and portraying the challenges that confront them. Our witnesses are people in a situation or those who have observed them first hand.
 
The films cover conflict, belief, the past and the future and as well as bringing new stories to light they showcase the talents of a new breed of multi-skilled, frontline journalist. In the studio, Rageh will further explore the issues raised in the films, with expert guests on the subject matter and the filmmakers themselves.
