What is Thought in the Thought of People

This film unfolds visually and reflexively from a tale narrated to Polo by the Agta indigenous leader Vic Abajon. His voice-over being the central conceit of the work. The story is presented exactly as it was recorded from Vic, an account of an autobiographical event that occurred in 1973 at San Ildefonso, Casiguran Municipality, Aurora province, Luzon Island, The Philippines. Polo recorded it in 2014 while they were working collaboratively on a research project that was to reflect on the reality of displacement, expropriation, and state violence that Vic’s community was enduring.
