Palawan appears to be an idyllic tropical island. Its powder-white beaches and lush forests have made it one of Asia’s hottest new tourist destinations. But it’s a battlefield for a tiny network of environmental activists dedicated to protecting the island’s spectacular natural resources. The film follows Bobby, Tata and Nieves, as they put their lives at risk in order to stop politicians and big business from destroying the Philippines’ last ecological frontier.
