The We Bring Light Film follows the stories of three individuals, each representing a different era of Leicester’s Diwali festival - past, present, and future. Through their experiences, memories and stories, we see how the festival has grown, how it connects generations, and how it continues to shape Leicester's cultural identity. This documentary, created by Kieran Vyas and Rendah Films, is a celebration of community, tradition, and the power of light.

A note from the Director:

“For over 40 years, the Diwali celebrations in Leicester have been a dazzling spectacle of community, culture and enduring light. With this film, we set out to capture the history of where it all began, the scale of what it has become, and the hope it gives to future generations.”

Kieran Vyas, We Bring Light Film Director
