Dreams in Dust

Dreams in Dust exposes the hidden reality of child labor in Pakistan through the stories of Murtaza, a 13-year-old mechanic, and Zeeshan, a 6-year-old brick kiln worker. Filmed in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, the documentary highlights the harsh conditions these children face while exploring the broader systemic issues of poverty, lack of education, and weak labor laws.

Through interviews with experts like Irum Mumtaz, a child rights activist, and Fazal, a brick kiln supervisor, the film challenges the normalization of child labor and calls for urgent solutions—like education and vocational training. Dreams in Dust is a powerful reminder of the need for change and protection of vulnerable children.
