Focus on Social Justice and Environmental Issues

See The Light is a production company on a mission to empower unheard voices and to shine a spotlight on social and environmental issues of our time. We create impactful stories and give a platform to voices that contribute to building an equal and fairer society.

Social Responsibility

We believe that sharing stories bring people together. We help individuals and organisations express authenticity and we support communities. Whether it’s advocating for policy changes, raising awareness on environmental issues, or highlighting social inequality, we are committed to creating a better world.

Hi there! I’m Beta Bajgart — the filmmaker and photographer behind See The Light Productions.

I started the company in 2024, after several years of experiencing how authentic stories can move people, connect communities, and inspire change.

I self-published the book A Woman’s Work, which became the inspiration for several exhibitions, panel discussions, and magazine articles on gender equality. My films — Not My Bag, My Home is Crumlin, and The Forest Midwife have opened space for powerful conversations after screenings with hundreds of people from different communities. My photography workshops have become sessions where new ideas, friendships, and awareness around social topics were created.

I’ve spent nearly two decades working as a freelance photographer and videographer, and I still love the craft as much as I’ve always have. But what drives me now is creating meaningful work with people — not just about them.

I came to Ireland from the Czech Republic, where I spent ten years working as a newspaper reporter and radio journalist. That’s where my love of storytelling began. Today, I’m especially drawn to stories that inspire environmental action and empower unheard voices. I’ve worked on numerous photography and documentary projects as a creator, director, producer, and editor.

I’m a mum to two teenage girls. In my free time, you’ll likely find me singing, playing piano, or walking in nature. Living in Dublin as a foreigner gives me a unique perspective — one that often helps break down barriers and navigate sensitive topics with care. That “outsider” view has become one of my strengths, allowing me to approach stories without being bound by local assumptions or taboos.
