Filmed following the devastating 2004 tsunami, this is a damning expose of the Colombo government's ulterior motives during the course of disaster relief. The local survivors have been prevented from rebuilding their homes along the coastline, while developers eye the lucrative beaches. Told through the stories of two survivors and an aid worker, From Dust is a sensitive depiction of lives that waited in tents while the tourism industry repositioned itself on their properties.
Sri Lanka, 2005, directed by Dhruv Dhawan; 60 minutes.
