(The Darkest Light)

Content: What do you do when someone you love does terrible things? That question haunts Neshama, daughter of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, the legendary musician whose songs lay the spiritual foundation for Judaism worldwide. THE DARKEST LIGHT follows Neshama’s wrenching attempt to reconcile the father she adored and the serial abuser he turned out to be. Through unflinching firsthand testimony, survivors recount the harm they suffered at the hands of the spiritual leader they trusted, revealing the painful contradictions within a man revered by many and a community long steeped in silence, denial and complicity.
