Manimalay

Directed by Janno Castillo

With Jing Torrecampo, Jerson Aviso Jre and Dwyane Zxar Lucero

Stolen mornings, their bruised hands, and the dreams they quietly protect beneath the weight of survival. This film highlights intimate portraits of courage and exhaustion, it exposes the harsh systems that strip away innocence and future alike. More than a witness, it is a plea: to see these children, to hear them, and to help end a reality that should never exist.
