Children of Mountains
Boyd Pickup, Philippines, documentary, 44 min., 2005
Co-produced & written by Jukka Holopainen & Margie Babon
(Philippinese with subtitles)
Canadian Premiere
 One of the last hunter-gatherer tribes in the world is the Agta, who live in the Sierra Madre Mountain range on the Philippine archipelago. They share a powerful story with us about their home which is literally being cut out from beneath them. They reminisce about the past, angrily explain their present abuses, and stoically speak of the fate of the mountains – a fate intimately tied to their own demise. – M.S.L
