A small Chilean town, neighbour to one of the country's largest electrical power plants, has been plagued by frequent blackouts and a constant, static hum. Isabel Reyes Bustos and Ignacia Merino Bustos' feature debut captures life in the isolated town of Charrúa, which is dominated by the presence of a large power plant that distributes energy to most of Chile. A little boy hunts rabbits, residents demand better electrical coverage at a town meeting, a woman waters the plants outside her house and a local radio station relays the day's happenings. At night, wildlife is captured on camera, along with strange bursts of light that momentarily illuminate a countryside criss-crossed with pylons and cables. And ever present is the insidious hum of electricity. The power the plant generates is a threat to the local community, but the poor residents have no voice against those who control it. 源自：https://sheffdocfest.com/film/shadow-light
