The film "Dreams of Dust" was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival, Venice International Film Festival and the Melbourne International Film Festival, and tells the story of Mocktar, a Nigerian peasant, who travels to the dusty gold mines in Northeast Burkina Faso, Africa, to look for work. He encounters Coumba, a beautiful woman struggling to raise her daughter after the death of her family. Mocktar will soon be fighting not only to survive, but also to provide a better future for this mother and her child.
