In places, the music drowns out the voice!

Still, a powerful film.

'I Am Light' is a poignant and emotionally charged short film that explores the experiences of black people in the UK through the eyes of Belinda Fenty, a second-generation British citizen of Caribbean descent. The film draws inspiration from Belinda's personal experiences and reflections on the murder of George Floyd, and aims to create empathy and validation among viewers. Using a series of vignettes, 'I Am Light' showcases the joys and pains of life as a black person in the UK and the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality. Its powerful message of #blacklivesmatter has the potential to spark important conversations and raise awareness about the experiences of black people in the UK and around the world.
