Squatterpunk (Iswaterpangk)

Set in the slums of Manila where law enforcement is rare, Squatterpunk chronicles the punk lifestyles of the youth as they scavenge the garbage beach for a living while still managing to play around. The film casts a tenderly poetic eye at the squalor of Philippine society.
