EXCLUSIVE: Angel Studios, the studio behind Sound of Freedom and The Chosen, has acquired worldwide rights to the indie drama Sight starring Terry Chen (Almost Famous) and Greg Kinnear (As Good as It Gets), slating it for release on May 24.
Written and directed by Andrew Hyatt (The Blind), pic tells the true story of Dr. Ming Wang (Chen), a Chinese immigrant who defied all odds to become a world-renowned eye surgeon in the United States. Drawing upon the grit and determination he gained from a turbulent uprising in his upbringing, Dr. Wang set out to restore the sight of a blind orphan.
“Rarely have we seen the strength and resolve of Chinese-Americans shown in a powerful way on the big screen,” Fischer told Deadline. “After spending years bringing Sight to life, Angel Studios is the perfect partner for audiences who want to be inspired by Dr. Wang’s story of hope, perseverance, and freedom.”
