what a lovely website … makes me want to visit! I am in New Zealand and trying to get a copy of the DVD of Ediths life – A light Among Shadows’ … not having any luck with this. If you know any way we could get a copy we would be most grateful, and wouldn’t mind if it was a second hand copy either.
Many thanks and all the best to everyone.

Thanks so much. Yes I have seen it on onscreen but our internet is very poor and we only see it in stops and starts, which is why we would like to have it offline to see anytime. It is no longer on sale on Sargent Gallery site, but I’m hoping they may give us a connection to Michael Heath producer. We will keep trying.
All the best

Warm regards Orlaith and Michael,
thanks so much for remembering my request. I tracked down copies of A light among Shadows and Village by the sea at the Sargient Gallery and bought both … actually i bought several copies of A light Among Shadows for presents. its wonderful for me to know and to share with others about the life of Edith but also I have to say that the film itself is deeply beautiful and nourishing … so many thanks to you Michael … not so easy to find simple profound beautifully made movies these days.
Im in Nelson and like you have been dancing with mother earth …. glad to feel she is more settled now.
Warm wishes to all …. and thanks
Joy
