- UPDATE: March 30, 2010: I'm sad to say that Holly died on Sunday March 28. My thoughts are with her family and friends. She was a wonderfully strong person and I'm glad I had the brief opportunity to know her.
*********
Holly Bartlett has a huge personality inside her small frame. She works full-time, takes Master's classes at night, volunteers and takes part in a wide range of activities from public speaking to swing dancing. She refusing to let being blind stop her from living her life.
In this film she talks about the adjustments she's made to compensate for her vision loss, and the tricks and tools she uses to perform the daily tasks most people take for granted, from checking her email to learning the office layout on her first day of work.
Holly's room mate, and friend of 10 years Andrew, offers a personal view of Holly. These two know each other so well they even tell the same story of how they met. Andrew can understand Holly's frustration in dealing with people who assume little of her because of her disability, he uses a wheelchair and gets many of the same reactions from strangers.
Sights Unseen is not about a heroic young woman overcoming a disability - it's about a normal young woman living a busy, but normal, life.

I only knew Holly through a few friends, and only hung around her a few times, but in that short time I realized how special she was, always chipper, never complained, its just so unfair, thats all I can say, just flat out unfair......
U will be missed greatly darling!
God bless you Holly. You were a remarkable young lady that can still set an example of perserverance and strenght to the handicapped and unhandicapped as well.
Rest in peace :(
Such a beautiful, bright, lively spirited being. Outstanding personality, humble and free. Your light still shines ever so glowing. You've touched the world with your story. Fly high, Holly; job well done. Sending prayers and heartfelt condolence to your family and friends. Love from Memphis.🌹🕊️✌🏽
Recently watched a documentary about Holly's case. She seems a brilliant young woman, what a loss. Sending love to her family 😞🫂
Funny how you can see someone everyday for years and even though we weren't friends, I always did remember you. The pictures here are just how I remember her. Goodbye Holly. I know you will be missed.
I knew Holly Bartlett very well from "The Work Bridge", Independent Living Resource Centre, and TEAM Work Cooperative.
She is definitely an inspiration to Nova Scotia's disabled community, and will continue to be so.
Rest in peace, Holly. Your accomplishments and ability to overcome many barriers will never be forgotten.
John Barrett hi John- I just saw Holly’s story on Fifth Estate And was so taken with her. Do you know tho if the full Fifth Estate episode is available anywhere? They only have first 13 minutes of it. Thank you
Amazing young woman..She certainly left a mark in people's hearts. RIP 💖
I am blind, and when I heard the story of Holly Bartlett, it made me think well I certainly won’t be drinking ever and I will be careful with every step I take When you’re blind, you can get around just fine but when you’re blind and drunk you’re screwed
Miss you, Holly, even though we didn't get to see each other much after awhile.
Rest in Peace Holly.
Very interesting Video, RIP Holly, my condolences to your friends and family, what a horrible accident.
