Synopsis

From Darkness to Light is a documentary that raises awareness about homelessness, both among Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. By following Martin around Le Nomade dormitory and the Piaule, the film leads us to explore this little-known world. The documentary’s strength lies in the simplicity of its production with each element connected and created on intuition. The aim of the film is to highlight the often invisible work of La Piaule employees and raise young people’s awareness of the dangers of homelessness.
