Day of Light (Dia de Luz)

Running time: 63 mins

Light and love triumph in an inspirational visual testimony to breaking down walls and instilling hope.

The resonant strum of a guitar, beat of a bongo drum, and crisp powerful voice of optimism echo through piles of burning trash and hungry scavengers; in a place known as home to many, the city landfill of Managua, Nicaragua.
