WHAT IS SANDSTORM?

Sandstorm is a multi-award winning fictional drama based on first-hand accounts of the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners currently happening in communist China, as documented and condemned by human rights groups such as Amnesty International. Though China is emerging as an economic superpower, films like Sandstorm serve to caution us about the hidden atrocities that occur under this strict no-tolerance regime. This film explores the truth hidden behind the CCP propaganda. Sandstorm is a moving portrayal of how obedience without question can be crippling.

SYNOPSIS:

A mid-level policeman and his wife are trapped in their home during a massive sandstorm in China.

The wife is running out of life-sustaining medicine, their food and water are almost gone, and their daughter is missing in the storm. In this isolation and confinement, the policeman painfully reflects on his part in the persecution of innocent Chinese citizens who follow the Falun Gong spiritual practice, particularly one woman who he had been trying to force to renounce her belief using both methods of torture and attempted brainwashing.

As the policeman battles with his conscience, the actual storm outside is nothing like what he has to face within himself. When all hope seems lost in the storm, the policeman is visited in a dream by an apparition who guides him toward deeper truths and the inextinguishable light of hope.

"Sandstorm is a very, very powerful movie..."Shawnee Brittan - deadCENTER Film Festival"It is the best film in the festival."Larry Smallwoood - Director of Philadelphia's 27th Philafilm Film Festival"This film is so vitally important to the cause of humanity. I really believe that strongly."Jonathon Zellars - Independent JournalistSandstorm Trailer:
