When two men compete to qualify in the Winter Olympics for the first time for Afghanistan, they realize that home is worth fighting for.

Where the Light Shines is the debut documentary from Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Daniel Etter with stunning cinematography by Angello Faccini. It is produced by Academy Award nominees Marcel Mettelsiefen and Stephen Ellis along with Steven Sawalich from Articulus Entertainment.
