DELIKADO (PBS/POV)
Emmy-Nominated for Outstanding Investigative Documentary

Palawan appears to be an idyllic tropical island. Its powder-white beaches and lush forests have made it one of Asia’s hottest new tourist destinations. But for a tiny network of environmental crusaders and vigilantes trying to protect its spectacular natural resources, it is more akin to a battlefield.

DELIKADO follows Bobby, Tata and Nieves, three magnetic leaders of this network, as they risk their lives in David versus Goliath-style struggles trying to stop politicians and businessmen from destroying the Philippines’ “last ecological frontier”. Visit the website HERE.

By My Side 

BY MY SIDE is an intimate portrait of three veterans suffering from the “invisible wound,” PTSD, the most prevalent and unhealed wound suffered by veterans. With their families they bravely share their pain, fear, and the difficult realization that they’ve lost time and love that they may never get back again. All three found hope where no one had looked—in the heart of a faithful service dog. Through intimate interviews and revealing footage of the veterans bonding with their service animals, the film demonstrates how wo/man’s best friend may be one of the best ways to mitigate the psychic scars imprinted on those who have been in service to our country.
