When the Night Meets Light Trailer (2025)

24 October 2025 Factual 104 mins

This is the first non-fiction film to document, through real footage, the stories of children seeking help — and finding self-rescue — amid psychological and emotional struggles. Through intimate, unfiltered moments at schools, in families, and inside hospitals, the film captures the children’s interactions with teachers, parents, and doctors. Over the course of five years, the director — a veteran journalist — immersed herself in classrooms, medical institutions, and social organizations, conducting hundreds of interviews with children, parents, educators, and mental health professionals. Drawing from tens of thousands of real cases and records, she uses documentary cinema to explore the urgent question: how can we better understand and support children in their journeys of growth, care, and education?
