Film Summary
Sandstorm is the award-winning fact based drama about the awakening conscience of a police officer forced to persecute Falun Gong practitioners in China.
Trapped at home for twelve days in a massive sandstorm and running out of food and water, a Chinese policeman cares for his dying wife as they grieve for their daughter who is missing in the storm.
In this isolation the policeman is tormented by flashbacks of his participation in the vicious persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. The devastating realization of his crimes awakens his conscience and brings forth the light of hope.
