'Feeling Through' is a coming of age story that follows 18-year-old Tereek, a kind but guarded teen wandering the streets of New York, desperate for a place to crash, and his encounter with Artie, a DeafBlind man in need of help getting home. What begins as an awkward meeting between strangers quickly becomes an intimate bond between friends, and a nightlong journey that forever changes Tereek. Ultimately, Artie’s intuitive ability to understand Tereek’s struggles inspires Tereek to realize he possesses the inner strength to confront his challenges.
