Loberti is making her acting debut in the anticipated Netflix limited series, which is based on a novel, titled "All the Light We Cannot See." Loberti plays Marie-Laure, a courageous blind teenager living in Nazi-occupied France during WWII. As an act of resilience, Marie-Laure Leblanc defies a Nazi ban on radio broadcasts and reads passages from “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” over the radio airwaves every night. Not only is Loberti an actress but she is also a writer, human rights advocate and Fulbright Scholarship recipient.
