Light in the dark is a 2019 Nollywood movie which focuses on external and internal factors that influence a family of three (Emeka, Jumoke and their daughter). Its filmmaker Ekene Som Mekwunye said at a media briefing, “With the film, we are trying to showcase the effects of rape, what it does to women and more importantly, how best victims can handle it..."

In recent years, filmmakers have attempted to bring up the effect of rape and how those effects are handled in different settings. Light in the dark seeks to view the case of rape from a "slightly different angle"
