The episode chronicles the five-decade struggle of indigenous farmers in a group of islands in a remote part of the country to reclaim their ancestral territory, which was forcibly taken from them by billionaires who own one of the nation’s largest corporations. They discuss how, with the support of the martial law regime, the police, and the military, they are often driven away at gunpoint. They report that harassment and injustices continue to this day. They express a desire to return to farming and fishing in their pristine islands and demand that the government grant their application for a certification of ancestral domain title so they can resume their disrupted lives.
