PISI (String of Debt & Resistance) is a gritty documentary that dives deep into the ongoing struggles of Filipino fisherfolk against China's encroachment in the South China Sea. The film captures the tense atmosphere of Masinloc, Zambales, where nearly 1,500 fisherfolk face daily threats. The pacing feels deliberate, almost contemplative, reflecting the harsh realities these communities endure. The cinematography has a raw, on-the-ground approach, making you feel the weight of their resistance. It’s not just about the geopolitical strife; it's about the resilience of a people fighting for their livelihood. The absence of a known director seems to add to its authenticity, giving it a grassroots vibe that resonates throughout the viewing experience.
