The DVD follows theatrical releases in Los Angeles and New York and screenings in 58 international film festivals where Sandstorm won 29 awards including 11 for Best Feature Film.
Sandstorm has been banned in China and created panic at Chinese Embassies and Consulates from Moscow, Russia to Houston, Texas to Northern California, where Chinese officials admonished film festivals to pull the movie from being screened or "cautioned" them to not repeat such errors in the future.
The DVD includes a Special Feature "Interview with the Director". The interview is an in-depth discussion with Sandstorm Writer/Director Michael Mahonen who discusses the inspiration for the movie, the unique circumstances surrounding the making of the movie and the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners on which the movie is based.
Storyline
He Tianying is a mid-level Chinese police officer. For twelve days and nights, he and his wife have been trapped in their home during a massive sandstorm covering a large area of China. His wife is running out of life-sustaining medicine, their young daughter is missing in the storm, electricity and phone communication have been cut off, and their food and water are running out. As He Tianying cares for his dying wife, in this isolation and confinement, his conscience starts to emerge. As a policeman, he has been involved in the vicious persecution of common Chinese citizens who follow the spiritual practice of Falun Gong. In a series of flashbacks, he painfully recalls one particular Falun Gong practitioner whom he had been attempting to force to renounce her beliefs. Under intense pressure from his supervisor, He Tianying is pushed to betray his conscience and persecute this innocent woman in order to protect his position... Written by Requisite Films
