Shawn Levy To Receive 2024 Helen Keller Achievement Award For His Work On Netflix Limited Series ‘All The Light We Cannot See’


The American Foundation for the Blind is set to present filmmaker Shawn Levy with the 2024 Helen Keller Achievement Award

“Through the power of storytelling, Levy has shifted the tides of perception imprinted on those with disabilities, creating a world of inclusion both on the screen and behind the scenes,” said Eric Bridges, AFB President & CEO. “Levy’s casting and direction of Aria Mia Loberti and Nell Sutton in the series not only elevated the art of acting through authentic representation on the screen, but he also touched audiences with a story that echoed the power of the human spirit.” Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, the series released last November chronicles the experiences of Marie-Laure Leblanc, a young French woman who is blind and fuels the resistance during the Nazi occupation of France through her radio broadcasts.
