Program Note
Boracay Island, Philippines, is known as the most beautiful island in the world. Although it is a tourist destination loved by people all over the world, the Ati, the indigenes who have lived on the island for a long time are being driven out of their living places. The nuns like Victoria Ostan and Lourdes Tamboons and the teachers at Ati school believe that education is the power and mainstream society should accept the Ati. However, the Ati tolerate discrimination from the islands with limited living radius in the world′s smallest indigenous residential area. The Ati’s struggle is about determination and faith. They endure hardship, believing that it is the land from God, even if political threats cost them their homes and deprive them of their hope for a better life. Land from God shows the people whose life is alienated under the cloak of spectacular tourist development but fighting together to protect their life.
