“Dominic Sangma’s ‘Veil of Dust’ Exposes Unregulated Stone Mining in Busan Asian Project Ma” — what this page in the network covers. Acclaimed Indian filmmaker Dominic Sangma, known for ‘Rapture,’ returns with ‘Veil of Dust,’ a new drama selected for the Asian Project Market at the Busan International Film Festival. The film follows a villager injured in a mining blast and his wife’s fight for compensation, revealing a web of exploitation, complicity, and indigenous belief in Meghalaya’s unregulated stone mining industry. Sangma, a member of the indigenous Garo community, brings authenticity to the story, which highlights the human cost of lax regulations and the resilience of local traditions.
The project’s inclusion in Busan’s market signals growing international interest in stories from Northeast India. With mining accidents on the rise, ‘Veil of Dust’ promises to put a human face on an urgent environmental and social crisis.
