Bicol film on hunger draws 12M hits
NAGA CITY—Drawing more than 12 million viewers as of Saturday, a short film about hunger shot here by a Bicolano filmmaker has pricked the conscience of people around the world, who said it made them cry.
“Chicken a la Carte” by Ferdinand Dimadura, shot in 2005, beat some 3,600 entries when it won the 56th Berlin Film Festival award for short films in 2006. Its biting commentary has drawn viewers to the website www.cultureunplugged.com and YouTube.
The film is “about hunger and poverty brought about by globalization,” the synopsis says.
“There are 10,000 people dying every day due to hunger and malnutrition. This short film shows a forgotten portion of society … What is inspiring is the hope and spirituality that never left this people.”
