Description

Tumandok’s September 19 showing at Robinsons Jaro Cinema was more than just a showcase for the multi-awarded movie; it was an intensely moving and thought-provoking event. Along with several well-known like-minded collectives, my daughter Parvane and I could not help but cry throughout the film. It became impossible to look away from the screen as we witnessed the moving and moving portrayal of the Ati community’s fight to reclaim their ancestral land and not feel sympathy for the Indigenous Peoples (IPs). Their dreams, their resiliency, and their lives were all on display, requiring our emotional support as well as our attention.
