Marilee Talkington performs her one woman show "Truce" in San Francisco and discusses its exploration of blindness with Peter White. Is there an acceptable term for losing your sight? Why is asking for help such a controversial issue for blind and partially sighted people? Marilee explores how the play has changed her relationship with her family, her own view of her diminishing sight and how audiences have reacted.
