"BADJAO"
a short film about culture and ethnicity

The Synopsis

Jao Yaiya, a 20-year old badjao, has an ambitious dream in life. It is not to have a stable job nor to be a leader of the Badjao tribe as what his father wanted him to be such, but to be a normal young citizen in the city where free from discrimination and open in modernity.
He left his family, his community and his clan with a promise to forget everything in him as a badjao and to adapt the normal cityboy’s life.
For how many days of pretending that he came from tagalog region, he met modern young people as his friends who helped him upgrade and changed his life morally and socially. However, his new image in the city put his life in trouble when he encountered his greatest enemy- his conscience.
The conflict of the story begins when he and his peers, drunk and controlled by forbidden drugs, raped the lady who sells native accessories in the streets. When he entered in the room for his turn, he was stopped by the reality after recognizing the naked girl- his badjao sister. Will Jao sacrifice his sister to hide the truth?
The story aims to show the effects of cultural discrimination to the natives who live with their dreams to be one of the people living in the world of today’s generation and set aside their ethnicity. Are you one of them?
