Timothy C On one of the most pressing and controversial issues of our era, immigration, comes this tremendous indie gem with its tender emphasis on Divine Grace and our human frailty. Writer-director Genevieve Anderson, a multi-talented maker of short films that have earned many awards worldwide, in her debut feature length film worked with producer Karen Marie Hernandez and exec producer Lori Tanner to brilliantly sculpt this sublime story to illumine various aspects of the desperate migration and border security issue. I don't want to include any spoilers, but how everything unfolds for the sympathetic main characters Kenny and Marta (not to mention two Border Patrol agents who also figure in this tale) makes for riveting drama, especially their unusual friendship bond as souls in distress struggling to find safety, wholeness and well-being in an unjust, sorrowful world. Very sweet moments also occur, and moments of pure Divine Grace. Its release delayed by the Covid pandemic, DUSTWUN lost any promotional campaign and was missed by nearly all critics. But in 2021 it went on to win best indie film at Arizona International Film Festival, best film at Tucson's "Faith In Film" festival, and was co-winner of the best film at NY's Socially Relevant Film Festival. Rev. Rob Schenck of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Institute in Washington, DC, called this "Magical. Powerful.… A gift to humanity. The world must see this film. My God—it's a gospel for our time." I agree! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review NIco V I was totally taken by surprise by this gem of a movie. Its a touching story of empathy and the gifts of lifting up the suffering. The homeless. The refugee. The lost soul. The music is filled with pathos and captures the loneliness and redemption of this important story,in a dreamy take you on a journey kind of way. I loved it!
