Dear Friends, It is my honor to present to you the beautiful and powerful new short doc, Wings of Dust —for your consideration. Winner of the Gold Medal at the 2023 Student Academy Awards, director @giorgioghiotto tells the story of @vidal.merma, a Peruvian Quechua journalist, who risks his life daily to secure a future where his son, Erik, can savor the simple joy of drinking clean water. This heartbreaking yet inspirational film is about a father’s sacrifice, community resilience, and the unwavering human spirit in the face of environmental injustice. Que viva Peru!🇵🇪
