Angels in the Dust

"Nothing short of wondrous" - Sara Cardace, New York Magazine

"We spend a lot of time crying," Marion Cloete says in Louise Hogarth's haunting documentary about the impact of HIV/AIDS on South African children.  

The subject of the documentary, which also includes child rape (a horrific myth says that sex with a virgin cures AIDS), is devastating, and Hogarth's camera finds the tragedy in the eyes of the orphans, many of whom have grown too old too soon.

Angels in the Dust, is the inspiring story of Marion Cloete, a university-trained therapist who – with her husband and two daughters - fearlessly walked away from a privileged live in a wealthy Johannesburg suburb to establish Botshabelo, a village orphanage for hundreds of children, many HIV-positive, that provides shelter, food and education to more than 550 South African Children.

This powerful documentary celebrates how children who are surrounded by death and tragedy can be instilled with strength and hope for a better tomorrow.
