SYNOPSIS:
Our extraordinary documentary “From Darkness to Light” provides never-before-seen insights into one of Hollywood’s greatest mysteries: 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. Our historical treasure hunt unfolds with numerous celebrities and Hollywood companions of Lewis' weighing in on his enduring legacy and ambition. Witness extensive behind-the-scenes impressions from the original "lost masterpiece" itself, presented in a comprehensive, entertaining and lively narrative structure.
