Diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at the age of eight, Dan Pembroke knew his sight would gradually fade. As a Paralympic javelin champion, he reflects on the pressure to succeed before darkness sets in—and the emotional toll of living with an invisible disability. Blending intimate archive with metaphorical visuals and sensory distortions, the film mirrors the shifting way Dan sees the world. Focus Throw is a meditation on resilience, identity, and the quiet strength it takes to keep moving forward when the path ahead is unclear.
