From Dust We Came-Mini Doc
From Dust We Came
Some stories don’t ask to be watched — they ask to be felt. From Dust We Came is a mini documentary about forgiveness and redemption: what it costs to carry a past you can’t change, and what it takes to finally lay it down. It’s a film — and a live experience — that opens the door to honest conversation, followed by the songs that grew out of the journey.
From Dust We Came is an intimate short film exploring the long road home — the tension between ambition and humility, brokenness and healing, isolation and community. It reflects on what it means to rebuild creatively, spiritually, and relationally.
This is not simply a music documentary. It is a story about second chances, about facing the past with courage, and about discovering that redemption is not an abstract idea — it is something lived, one decision at a time.
