Still, remarkably, in some instances, it does. This cheering film follows Ian Tibbetts from Telford who went blind before he was able to see the faces of his twin boys.

Interspersed with Ian’s story are a few reminiscences from earlier beneficiaries of this barely believable procedure. They’re a powerful reminder to count blessings. Stirring stuff.
