Basal Banar (Sacred Ritual of Truth)

Synopsis

SOLITO returns to his hometown on Palawan Island and documents the sacred rituals and daily lives of its people, as the intrusion of multinational corporations and other forces constantly threatens the islanders' way of life. The echoes of percussion and rhythm of the images unite harmoniously, unveiling a personal rediscovery of indigenous roots in Southern Palawan.
