In the Shadow of Light(2023)

In the Shadow of Light Synopsis

Life in the isolated town of Charrúa is dominated by the presence of a large power plant that distributes energy to most of Chile. A little boy hunts rabbits, residents demand better electrical coverage at a town meeting, a woman waters the plants outside her house and a local radio station relays the day's happenings. At night, wildlife is captured on camera, along with strange bursts of light that momentarily illuminate a countryside criss-crossed with pylons and cables. And ever present is the insidious hum of electricity.

In the Shadow of Light (2023) is a documentary film directed by Isabel Reyes Bustos, released on June 15, 2023 with a runtime of 1h 6m.
