SYNOPSIS

This documentary chronicles the inspirational journey of the Zimbabwean team at the 2017 World Blind Wine Tasting Championships. The appropriate title, Blind Ambition, powerfully reflects their unwavering determination and tenacity in this demanding competition.


CINDIE SAYS:
At its core, Blind Ambition isn’t just about wine; it’s about shattering stereotypes and challenging assumptions. The team’s journey subverts the narrative of what constitutes a wine expert, showing that passion and determination can transcend cultural and economic barriers.

This is also a story of redemption. Each member of the team carries the weight of their past and the hopes of their families, and their success becomes a beacon of hope not just for them, but for others in similar circumstances.

The directors interweave the protagonists’ personal struggles with the broader historical and socio-political backdrop of Zimbabwe, lending the film a depth that goes beyond its surface charm.

Blind Ambition is more than just a documentary about wine—it’s a toast to perseverance, a celebration of cultural diversity, and a reminder that every bottle of wine has a story, just as every person does.
