Скачать или смотреть Alunsina Q&A with Kiri Dalena

Filmmaker Kiri Dalena answers questions from Professor Patrick Campos about her film "Alunsina", one of the opening films of Daang Dokyu. The film is streaming now til September 21 at DaangDokyu.com/watchnow. Re-run from October 30 to November 5.

In Alunsina, Dalena continues to explore both the potentials and limits of engagement within a community that is facing trauma. Working closely with human rights organizations, she finds herself documenting the struggles of children and families in an urban settlement severely affected by the government's war against drugs- an ideology that has led to thousands of extrajudicial killings of suspected drug users, and has left hundreds of children whose parents died as victims. Here, she engages with another family whose child has resorted to drawing pictures to cope with such tragedy and again confront the complexities in communicating the violence they've witnessed.
