Synopsis:  

 

Something tragic yet wonderful is transpiring within the Eisenhower unit, a hospital ward for military veterans stricken with dementia. One of the veterans is Marion. Marion is ninety-three years old, nearly blind, and suffers from severe dementia. From time to time, God lowers the veil of dementia that surrounds Marion. For a few precious moments, he can tell hilarious stories, speak fluent French, and reminisce about his World War II combat experiences. Struggling alongside Marion is the filmmaker’s father, a disabled Korean War veteran who has Alzheimer's disease. “Lead Me To Your Light” is a musical prayer for these veterans, and others suffering from the terrible effects of dementia.
