Lights from Nowhere is the story of a quest. Tyneside poet multiple sclerosis
sufferer Tony Jackson is totally paralysed from the neck down, but lives in
his own home sustained by a care regime. When he says that he has seen a 'Light'
shining from under his bed at night, everyone tells him he must have dreamt
it. But when the 'Light' is also seen by his night nurses, Tony wants some
answers! A humorous and very human film, Lights from Nowhere follows Tony
as he tries to find out what's going on. As a life long trenchant and confirmed
atheist, Tony has no preconceptions about what he has seen, just a willingness
to listen to the people he meets. In the course of the filming, Lights from
Nowhere explores the paradox met with by Tony: the greater his certainty that
he really has seen a 'Light', all the more must he draw on his own inner resources
to understand the experience.
