Light in the Shadows

Light in the Shadows is a frank conversation about race among ten women who participated in the ground-breaking film The Way Home. These American women of Indigenous, African, Arab/Middle Eastern, European, Jewish, Asian, Latina and Mixed Race descent, use authentic dialogue to crack open a critical door of consciousness. What lies behind it is a perspective on race that is often unseen/ unnoticed within the dominant culture. With clear language, open hearts and a willingness to engage – even when it gets hard – these women travel over roads that demonstrate why valuable discourse on race is so laden with emotion, distrust and misunderstanding. Light in the Shadows is a springboard for critical self-inquiry and inter-ethnic dialogue.

What People Are Saying

"Dr. Butler's leadership in conceptualizing the issues of racism at the institutional and individual level is revealed not only in the film, but also in her personal work as a well-recognized and well-respected facilitator and public speaker on these topics. Shakti Butler led a group of 70 pediatricians-in-training through several clips of the video and an inspirational public discussion of racism and issues of difference with applicability in the health care setting. The audience participants raved about both the content and the conditions that Ms. Butler created for the exploration and analysis of these often-taboo topics."
