Our take

A visceral yet empathetic look at the origins of violence, Awakening Dust surveys the desperation that seeps into the souls of those who live on the margins. Hari Sama worked with people from the real-life community of “Campamento 2 de Octubre,” giving a raw authenticity to fictional events.
