Join for a Light Through the Dust, a powerful independent New Zealand documentary exploring grief, trauma, resilience, recovery & the role of creativity in rebuilding lives after disaster.
The film follows the lived experiences of two tattoo artists whose lives were profoundly changed by the Ōtautahi Christchurch earthquakes, offering an intimate look at what it means to navigate loss, disability, recovery & the long journey towards finding a new way forward.
