- Summary:
- A Philippine government plan to transform ancestral farmland into a tourist resort sparks a dramatic conflict when villagers actively resist the development. As peasants and fisherfolk organize to stop the golf courses and yacht marinas, their community becomes a violent flashpoint in a larger, national battle over land. A provocative portrait of one community's fight for survival against forces of economic "development" presenting conflicting views by peasants, developers, bureaucrats and golf boosters.
