Mula Pabrika Hanggang Fukuoka |
The plight of Filipina women workers is tackled in a trilogy. Elsa works long hours in a garment sweatshop, spends the night at the picketline and barely squeezes family time in between. Veng is an independent filmmaker who tries her luck as "TNT" in Tokyo. By day, she goes around photograpahing and filming. By night, she is a karaoke bar hostess. In Fukuoka, three Pinays give meaning to the term "Japayuki." Emily, Marlene and Kay who are all married to Japanese nationals reveal their stories as entertainers in Fukuoka's red light district.
Direction: Ditsi Carolino and Sadhana Buxani
