Abstract:

This feature documentary, visualizes the richly diverse cultural and social climate of the Philippines through its most popular form of mass transportation: vividly decorated ex-WWII military jeeps.  The stories of drivers, artists, and passengers are lavishly shot and cut to the rhythm of the streets, providing an enticing vehicle through which the rippling effects of globalization can be felt.
