THE FILM I'LL NEVER SEE
Featured on BBC One as part of the acclaimed Our Lives series, The Film I’ll Never See is a deeply personal documentary following my journey through progressive sight loss, family life and fatherhood.
Now nominated in two categories at the Royal Television Society North West Awards 2026, the documentary explores what it means to face the loss of your remaining sight while continuing to embrace life, love and the people who matter most.
Although the documentary is no longer available on BBC iPlayer in the UK, international audiences can access it through YouTube, subject to regional availability.
I am also available for special documentary screenings, audience Q&A sessions and speaking engagements with organisations, charities and businesses.
MORE THAN SIGHT. MORE THAN WORDS
Through poetry, storytelling and lived experience, I challenge perceptions of blindness and disability, inspire people to overcome adversity and remind the world that our greatest limitations do not define our potential.
I’m Dave Steele, The Blind Poet — author, keynote speaker, disability advocate and the subject of the BBC One documentary The Film I’ll Never See.
From the pages of my books to stages and audiences around the world, my mission is simple: to turn life’s biggest challenges into opportunities for understanding, connection and hope.
Because there’s so much more to life than what we can see.
