Synopsis
editAngels in the Dust is a documentary film that follows the Cloete family on their journey from home into the hills of Magaliesberg, South Africa. These particular hills are home to an impoverished community where the population has been eroded by HIV/AIDS, and where educational opportunities are limited. The Cloetes have established an orphanage and a school, housing some 250 children and feeding a further 280 daily – children whose parents have been killed by the pandemic or whose family do not see the value of an education. The film documents the family members - all of whom have their own specific roles - and children included in the project. Though unsentimental, Angels in the Dust pays tribute to the generosity of the Cloete family and the positive response of the children in their care. The soundtrack was created by Simphiwe Dana.
