Light Through The Dust

About

When the 2011 Christchurch earthquake struck, tattoo apprentice Bonnie Singh was inside Southern Ink, the studio where she had finally begun chasing her dream. The tattoo studio collapsed and Bonnie, trapped in the rubble, suffered a broken back, a shattered neck, and a brain injury that would affect her for life. With the help of fellow tattooist Jak Law, Bonnie is determined to push through physical and neurological limitations to master the craft of tattooing that once seemed out of reach. A story of resilience, reinvention, and the invisible scars we carry, this is not just a film about tattoos but instead is about what it means to rebuild a life and the importance of having a dream when everything has fallen away.
