Director: Dario Novellino | Producer: Dario Novellino
Focus Years: 2010 | Country: Philippines
Synopsis:
In March 2006, the Philippines’ President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has called for a revitalization of mining nation-wide. The future of Palawan, known as the Philippines’ “Last Frontier†is now under serious threat. The island was declared a “Man and Biosphere Reserve†by the UNESCO and it is also the home of vanishing and isolated indigenous communities. Despite the numerous policies and laws establishing the entire province as a protected area, Palawan is becoming one of the most attractive mining investments destinations. This documentary is the outcome of a joint effort of indigenous communities, farmers, local NGOs and international institutions.
