Lester Babiera of Coconuts Manila produced a short video of Rommel and Badji which was posted by ABS-CBN online News (see video below). Three months after that, the journalists and documentarians at GMA News and Public Affairs spent time with Rommel Quiminales and Badji and were able to elicit and uncover the full story, producing the documentary above which went on to become a finalist in the UNICEF worldwide documentary competition. Below is an earlier short video intro produced by Lester Babiera:
A scene from “Okja” (2017), a critically acclaimed movie and a finalist at the Cannes Film Festival.
In a highly futuristic scenario, Okja is a genetically modified pig who became the pet of the caretaker’s daughter, a little girl. The company that created him retrieved him to be used as an exhibit for promotion. Using starvation, beating up, and electric shocks, he was being trained to perform at the exhibit. The little girl tried to rescue him by springing him from his cage. A group of animal rights activists saw what was happening.
