Candlelight

About This Movie

Candlelight offers a raw glimpse into Puerto Rico's struggle post-Hurricane Maria. The film doesn't sugarcoat the harsh reality that half the island was still without power months later. It's not just about destruction, though—there's an undercurrent of resilience, a testament to the spirit of the Puerto Rican people. The pacing allows you to absorb the weight of each story, each personal account layered with emotion. The cinematography captures both the beauty and devastation of the landscape, creating a haunting atmosphere. While the director remains unknown, the voices of the community shine through, making this documentary distinct in its intimacy. It feels less like a film and more like an empathetic conversation about recovery and hope.
