A hit at Hot Docs and Sundance 2021, this illuminating film asks us to reconsider the connection between image, technology and surveillance—and most importantly, the power these tools can have over undervalued and unassuming communities. As surveillance become a fixture in everyday life, acclaimed director Theo Anthony (Rat Film) investigates the complexities of objectivity, probing the biases inherent in both the human eye, and the camera lens. While tracing our historical relationship with the image as weapon, All Light, Everywhere also questions whether technological advancement, and in particular the body camera, correlates with truth when justice has always been synonymous with blindness.
