It Starts With Me dives into the struggles of a group of passionate young activists on Mambacayao Dako, a small island in the Visayan Sea. The documentary has this raw, almost intimate feel, capturing both the beauty of the island's waters and the urgency of their fight to establish a marine protected area. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to really soak in both the vibrant local culture and the environmental threats they face. What stands out here is the genuine connection these youth have with their home, it's not just about conservation; it’s about identity and legacy. The practical effects are minimal, but the real-world stakes are palpably high, which gives the film a distinct weight that lingers.
