AND THERE WAS LIGHT FILM
A documentary feature by Shelley Hermon

About The Film
And There Was Light is a powerful documentary feature film that shifts the focus from the horrors of October 7th to the remarkable resilience of four Nova massacre survivors as we witness their healing dance out of darkness, in real time.
Our four uniquely talented heroes each explore a different artistic expression as their pathway to recovery. As we intimately follow these fragile lives over the course of an unprecedented year, their personal struggles and victories weave a collective narrative of perseverance and a live testament of the triumph of the human spirit.
Can trauma lead to positive transformation? The film explores “post-traumatic growth”, offering a fresh perspective and insights on trauma and recovery.
And There Was Light transcends flags, religion and race, offering a pro-human message of resilience and unity - reminding us that while trauma is universal, so too is the power to heal.
