Christian artist Natalie Grant hosted a discussion surrounding the Netflix adaptation of the novel All the Light We Cannot See, commenting on how the series reminds viewers of the power of words and the possibility of hope even amid darkness.
On Monday, Grant, along with bloggers Hunter Premo and Jessica Turner, hosted a screening of the four-part series, which hits Netflix on Nov. 2 and stars Aria Mia Loberti, Louis Hofmann, Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie.
Directed by Shawn Levy, “All the Light We Cannot See” follows the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl and her father, Daniel LeBlanc, who flee German-occupied Paris with a priceless diamond to keep it from falling into the hands of the Nazis.
While pursued by a Nazi officer who seeks to possess the stone for his own selfish means, Marie-Laure and Daniel find refuge in St. Malo, where they take up residence with a reclusive uncle who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the Resistance. Here, Marie-Laure meets Werner, a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts. The two strike up a friendship that highlights the power of human connection in even the darkest of circumstances.
