Documentary

Ivar Berglin of VBS.TV covers Payatas, Metro Manila's only rubbish dump. Although this short documentary focuses on the dump, it does make you think about issues like poverty, entrepreneurship, ecology, over-population and the Church's stance against contraception.

It's fascinating.

The BBC's 'Meet the Immigrants' episode featuring Filipino domestic workers seemed to generate lots if interest. I thought it would be a good time to follow it up buy uploading 'Between Two Cultures', a short video documentary filmed by two members of Phil-UK back in 2000.

It's a 12 minute video documentary about two Filipinas: a student who grew up in the UK, and a nanny working to support her family in the Philippines.
