A new web series dropping this week is set to highlight the stories told by blind and low-vision youth - as well as the accessibility they have to our media.

Created by media access services company Able, Sight Unseen showcases audio description, which allows the visually impaired to enjoy shows with an added layer of audio telling them what is happening on the screen. 

Co-director Sheldene Seth says the goal of the series is to raise awareness - and showcase the 'awesome' stories from New Zealand's blind community.

"It does do two things, which is awesome. We did feature some fantastic talent for the series that are very passionate about the things that they do and engage with every day."
