n a remote part of the Philippines, people live with the daily threat of terrorist attacks. They are challenged by disease and poverty. And they shine.
The documentary Zamboanga follows musician Barclay Martin’s journey through the southern region of the Philippines where he comes face-to-face with the persevering soul of the country. The trek leads to a regional concert where thousands of people, Christian, Muslim and indigenous communities, come to participate in and celebrate the wealth of a vibrant culture.
As he meets and performs with local musicians and watches Western-mesmerized kids discover their own rich heritage, Martin and the audience find an original world rhythm and a new, deeper meaning of harmony.
