Loosely based on the kidnapping of a broadcast journalist and her crew, the film shows a 10-year-old Tausug boy used by the Abu Sayyaf group to "charge" the cellphones they use in negotiating for their demands for the release of their captives. Things take a strange turn when the journalist befriends Shihab and earns his trust as Shihab finds himself torn between his loyalty to his Tausug brothers and the bond he has forged with his newfound friend.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
