"Aria Mia Loberti: Embracing the Role of a Blind Heroine in 'All the Light We Cannot See'"
Aria Mia Loberti, a blind actress with no prior acting experience, has been cast as the blind heroine in the upcoming Netflix adaptation of "All the Light We Cannot See." Director Shawn Levy believed that casting a low-vision or blind candidate would bring an authentic experience to the role, and Loberti rose to the top among hundreds of candidates. The World War II drama follows the parallel stories of Marie-Laure, played by Loberti, and Werner, an orphaned German boy. Loberti's portrayal aims to immerse the audience into the mindset and lifestyle of a blind person, highlighting the need for fair and equal opportunities for disabled actors in the industry. The series debuts on Netflix on November 2nd.
