The cast and crew behind Netflix\u2019s upcoming four-part limited series All the Light We Cannot See,<\/em> which is set in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, gave a special behind the scenes look into the show\u2019s filmmaking process in a video released on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The series, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Anthony Doerr, follows the intertwining stories of Marie-Laure \u2014 a blind French girl who with her father flees German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond to keep it safe from the Nazis \u2014 and a German orphan named Warner, who works for the Nazis. Adapted to screen by Steven Knight, Shawn Levy serves as director and executive producer, while actress Aria Mia Loberti, who is visually impaired, plays Marie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loberti had no plans to become an actress, and the Netflix series was her first time auditioning for a role.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAria is someone who understands this character in her soul,\u201d said Levy, adding that it was important for him \u201cto have Marie played by someone who understands what it is like to walk that road\u201d and be visually impaired.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMaria\u2019s experience of blindness is not a catalyst for the story necessarily,\u201d explained Loberti, explaining that the storyline is \u201cabout her experience as a blind girl navigating love and loss in a time of war.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Seven-year-old Nell Sutton, who is legally blind, was cast first as young Marie before Loberti was brought on board. Sutton said during filming she was \u201cgonna keep Marie in my heart\u201d and, like Loberti, was not a professional actor before All The Light We Cannot See. <\/i>The audition for the project was her first ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

In All the Light We Cannot See, <\/em>Marie-Laure and her father are pursued by a ruthless Gestapo officer who wants the diamond for himself. The father and daughter find refuge in the seaside city of St. Malo, where they move in with a reclusive uncle (played by Hugh Laurie) who transmits secret radio broadcasts as part of the Nazi resistance. While there, Marie-Laure meets Werner (played by Louis Hofmann), a teenager recruited by Hitler\u2019s regime to track down illegal broadcasts. Marie-Laure and Werner form a bond and share a secret as well as a sense of hope while World War II takes place around them. Levy described Werner as \u201cthis pure soul, being indoctrinated into evil to which he doesn\u2019t subscribe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShowing those two different types of people, living through war and turmoil is so important and I think so many of us will connect with their stories,\u201d said Loberti.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe story of war affects and changes the trajectories and lives of these two curious people who just wanna learn things, and the war prevents them from doing so,\u201d noted Doerr. \u201cAll these decisions adults and politicians are making really affect and change the trajectories of these two curious people who just want to learn things and be allowed to educate themselves. And the war prevents them from doing so.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Levy concluded by saying All the Light We Cannot See \u201c<\/em>is both timeless and timely, unabashedly human and emotional. It captured a certain epic scale that we\u2019ve been truly privileged to bring to life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

All the Light We Cannot See<\/em> will be released on Nov. 2 on Netflix.<\/span><\/p>\n
