The French film "The Straight Line (La Ligne Droite)" will be shown as part of the 2nd annual Boston ReelAbilities Disabilities Film Festival.

In this vivid French sports drama (which has blind athletes among the film's cast), Yannick, a long distance runner who has lost his sight, agrees to train with Leila (Rachida Brakni) an ex-athlete with a criminal past. More than a coach, Leila is also Yannick's guide, running completely in synch with him as he races. Will they take their deepening relationship to the next level, off the track? Directed by Régis Wargnier.
In Person: Josh Crary, a marathon runner who is also visually impaired.

Tickets $10 each, available at www.bjff.org or www.mfa.org, or in-person at the MFA box office.
