AMBER BEATON

When the 2011 Christchurch earthquake struck, tattoo apprentice Bonnie Singh’s life changed forever. She suffered catastrophic injuries including a broken neck, shattered spine, and traumatic brain injury. For years, she endured chronic pain, disability, and a brutal fight for recognition after being denied support by New Zealand’s state insurance agency Accident Compensation Corporation. But despite the nightmare she was living, one dream refused to die… Her dream of becoming a tattoo artist. Amber Beaton’s first feature film Light Through The Dust is a moving documentary about trauma, healing, and the creative spirit’s refusal to surrender.
