Storyline

The human eye is a powerful tool, but it's completely dependent on light. It was the invention of the humble flashlight that enabled humans a safe and portable means of shedding light on the dark corners of the world. The Flashlight takes us on a journey from the time when fire was the only means of illuminating the night, to the high-tech manufacturing of the most powerful flashlights today.
