Dreams of the Ravaged

Secondary School (12-16 years)

In "Dreams of the Ravaged," three young individuals recount their harrowing experiences as survivors of the deadliest super typhoons in the Philippines, highlighting the harsh realities faced by communities on the frontline of climate change. Through a blend of live-action documentary and scribble animation, the film delves into their memories, lessons learned from the climate crisis, and their outlook on the future, navigating the delicate balance between hope and despair. The Philippines, among other Western Pacific nations, has suffered greatly from climate-induced disasters in recent years, with young families bearing the brunt of the trauma. This film, born from the director's own survival of a super typhoon, seeks to educate on the science connecting climate change and extreme weather, amplifying our collective voices in the climate action dialogue. Employing live action and animation, it captures the vulnerability of the youth affected by relentless calamities, underscoring the importance of global collective action against the climate crisis.
