THE LIGHT in our DARKNESS – Fairy Firefly

Trigger Warning – This film contains references to sexual abuse, which may be triggering for some viewers. If you have been affected by a similar issue and need to talk to someone, please contact an organization or person near you for support. Take care of yourself.

Have you ever wondered if the sadness around you will snuff out your light? We will face seasons where darkness will try to overtake us and put out our fire. However, we can still shine.

And you can also help others shine their light, by encouraging those around you. Because when others see your light, it inspires them to let their light shine too. Even in the darkest times, seeing the light of others brings hope. You can brighten someone else's life with just your smile.

Be bold enough to shine your light, no matter how small or insignificant you feel. Remember, it only takes a blink of an eye to change rooms.

/"Your job is to discover who you are and then, with all your heart, give your light to the world./" Jennifer Williamson

Filmed in Heidelberg, Western Cape, South Africa.

In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful 52-card deck – each card featuring a quote from one of our films, paired with Lanon Prigge's activating visual muses. The goal of this game is to reignite children's curiosity and creativity, helping them navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (formerly known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for cinema and our love of storytelling to remind our audiences of a simple truth: we are all human. The more we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, each other, and planet Earth with a greater sense of compassion.
