    Dreams of the Ravaged

    Three young Filipinos recollect their experiences during and after the three of the most fatal super typhoons that ravaged the Philippines in the past few years. Due to rising sea temperature, weather patterns are changing and storms are becoming more frequent, stronger and deadlier. Using a mix of live-action and scribble animation, the film visualizes their memories of dealing with these extreme calamities and their hopes and dreams for the future while highlighting the importance of climate justice.
