In essence, the story of the indomitable nature of the human spirit, the resilience and commitment of a few to help the many and a triumph of hope in adversity.

Angels in the Dust shows that compassion is a form of bravery.

One of the most staggeringly straightforward looks at death I've ever seen. The movie's grace note is its subtlety.

It thoughtfully illuminates a seemingly unsolvable problem while proving that one person really can make a difference.

Angels in the Dust is a troubling documentary for obvious reasons...but it's also a bit disturbing for reasons director Louise Hogarth may not have noticed.

An inspiring portrait of a saint battling for the lives of the sick and forsaken in a frightened and superstitious world.

Hogarth creates such a complete and satisfying world in the village that when her camera pans away to a forest of tiny graves in a Soweto cemetery, it’s a necessary shock to realize that Cloete’s haven is one happy drop in an ocean of suffering.

...Angels in the Dust is an important, enormously emotional film that will hopefully have a far-reaching and valuable impact on the plight of Sub-Saharan AIDS.

Writer-director Louise Hogarth's straightforward film documents the life's work of white South African activist Marion Cloete: Her efforts to feed, educate and love hundreds of abandoned and orphaned children.
