"From Darkness To Light" is a remarkable work from director Michael Lurie and Eric Friedler. The film provides never-before-seen insights into one of Hollywood's greatest mysteries: comedy legend Jerry Lewis' last self-directed movie "The Day The Clown Cried", a project that was publicized and anticipated worldwide in 1972, but suddenly disappeared under the most mysterious circumstances, never to be seen... For more than 50 years dubious theories swirled around this so-called "lost movie", but new light has been shed on the darkness of what really happened. The historical treasure hunt unfolds with numerous celebrities and Hollywood companions of Lewis' weighing in on his enduring legacy and ambition. Witness extensive never-before-seen production footage and behind-the-scenes impressions from the original "lost masterpiece" itself.

From Darkness to Light is more than just a film — it’s a journey. It takes us into the heart of struggle, into moments when hope seems far away, and then shows us the extraordinary resilience that carries people forward. With a keen eye for both beauty and truth, the film weaves together stories that remind us of our shared humanity, and of the light that can emerge even from the deepest shadows.
