Contents:
Filmed in Sri Lanka' From Dust' is a cinematic expose that takes an incisive look at a government's response to a natural disaster. Shot in the aftermath of the Asian Tsunami, this documentary brings us into close contact with three people Ravi, Cyril and Cameron and questions why survivors in Sri Lanka weren't allowed to rebuild their homes along Sri Lanka's coastline. In the aftermath of the Asian tsunami, a new law in Sri Lanka prevented survivors from rebuilding their homes within 100 meters of the coast. To ensure this mandate was followed, the government spread rumors and issued false warnings to the media about more tsunamis being on the way. Filmed on the island's ravaged coastline, Sri Lanka's survivors of the 2004 tsunami are now also the victims of the government's bureaucracy and greed.
