Every big changes began with a simple idea, and what makes one a leader is the capacity to inspire and the actions for the good of others.

The story about a leader with a vision is not new, but idea is timeless and life-changing action is always a good story to tell. That’s how one David Christensen, decided to make a movie about a village, the crazy mayor and his little idea:

The Mirror is a documentary about bringing sunlight to a forgotten village and how this extraordinary idea affects the lives of the people in the village and the surrounding valley. Touching and whimsical, its about the light and the dark and the things in between a documentary film about some extraordinary people and their extraordinary dreams of light.

Update: The movie was screened at the Hotdocs festival in Toronto last May.
