The Sakada Series (35min) is a series of three short films capturing the personal stories and successes of the Sakadas and of the second-generation. Sakadas are Filipino contract workers who immigrated to Hawaii between 1906-1946 to work as laborers for Hawaii’s sugar and pineapple plantations. thesakadaseries.com | Facebook: thesakadaseries

Curiosity, Adventure & Love (60min) is the story of a 105-year-old American woman’s journey through a century of love, war and discovery in the Philippines. It’s the story of a woman raised by fate to go boldly where few young women of her time and upbringing would go... into the arms of chance and life – and the story of Philippine history that she witnessed along the way. www.curiosityadventureandlove.com |
