Press & Reception

From its premiere onward, Let There Be Light drew coverage well beyond the usual film pages — in part because its subject, fusion energy, kept making headlines of its own.

A well-received premiere

The film debuted at SXSW in Austin in March 2017, praised for making an intimidating scientific subject both accessible and genuinely moving.

Coverage that kept growing

As outlets reported milestones at ITER and among private fusion ventures, the documentary found fresh relevance with each energy headline — a subject we cover on our fusion energy explainer.
