Light Through Darkness
Review
If you enjoyed ‘Ray’ 2004 & ‘Blindness’ 2008 - ‘Light Through Darkness’ is the film for you. Make sure you
have the tissues close by because this is the tearjerker of the year
This heart warming short film, have touched hearts. This story about a teenage boy whose life has been
altered massive. Nathan Hector (Kieran) stars in his first minimal dialogue film as a teenage boy who has
recently become blind.
With courage and determination Kieran reminisce about the good times with his friends. With Sonia Botha
making her first on-screen debut, her accidental carelessness events leads Kieran to gain confidence.
The film is strikingly shot, using washed-out colour’s and a predominantly white palette. In addition,
the soundtrack used worked extraordinarily within the tense scenes will stay with you long after you
leave the cinema.
Light Through Darkness is a powerful, impressively made and ultimately moving film that deserves to
be seen and highly recommended.
