Based on a true story, up and coming directors Yu-Chieh Cheng and Lekal Sumi Cilangasan weave a wonderfully shot film about aboriginal rights. When Panay, a single mother, returns to her home village to attend to her sick father, she discovers a plan to turn their lands into large resorts. Rekindling her love for her home, she works with the villagers to revive the village and save their lands. As the first to leave the village and receive a college education, Panay sees the struggles of marginalized groups in society, and it is through this that she is able to reconcile with her aboriginal roots. Panay: Children of the Sun is a story of reclamation: the reclamation of the rightful land of the Pangcah, and Panay's reclamation of a culture she left behind. Its beautiful scenery will draw you into a world still strongly integrated with nature.
