Mitya

Directed by Denise Ericka Marfori

This short documentary follows the life of Carmelita who once thrived by gathering shells, crabs, and small sea creatures from the hunasan (tidal flats) of Baybay City. As the reclamation project altered the coastline, her livelihood vanished. The documentary contrasts her past, where the sea provided for her family, with her present struggles in a heavily polluted and industrialized environment.
