Day of Light

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.

From sunrise to sunset, join musician Braddigan and his assembly of students, artists, athletes, and other musicians from around the world to fight social injustice. The group ushers in inspirited melodies of promise as they help reawaken the dreams, imagination, and hope of locals.

This visually provocative film, characterized by intense, vivid cinematography, beautifully illustrates love and art as powerful vehicles for change. Day of Light chronicles the valiant effort to replace darkness with light, heal communities, and join people from all walks of life together.
