"The story of a Baltic German refugee who became Laplandโs father of light"
Filmmaker Antti Haase takes us on a personal journey, learning about his fathersโ legacy. Baltic German engineer Gunnar Haase, initially a refugee, arrived in Finnish Lapland in 1945 to repair the destruction left by the Germans. Anttiโs father Hannu continued grandfather Gunnarโs mission to bring electricity to Lapland โ the powerlines finally reaching the very last Lapland home on the 23th July,1987. Rural electrification was an enormous undertaking; it brought modern life and equality to people still living in the harsh nature. And while the undertaking took a heavy toll, it also illuminated the way forward. The Illuminators is an inspiring story about courage and social progress as well as sons following in their fatherโs footsteps.
