Inspired by true stories, Shed Some Light is an intimate exploration of vitiligo, a skin condition that is largely misunderstood and often leads to prejudice and the exploitation of those it touches. Drawing upon Lee Thomas’ powerful TED Talk about his experience with the disease, the film portrays the courageous journey to self-acceptance and boldness through one’s own internal light.

Director’s Vision for ‘Shed Some Light’

Film has the power to give a voice to people who suffer and help us better connect to struggles we may not understand. It is very important to us as Directors – really, a mission in our lives – to use our craft to help those who are underrepresented and marginalized and create a place for them to shine. We are so thrilled to be able to do that with Shed Some Light!
