FEATR rediscovers...

Shortly after the release of FEATR's Salt Series, a documentary about the nearly forgotten Asin Tibuok and unfolded into an exploration of Filipino salt-making, local salt producers found renewed purpose in their craft, as the series helped preserve and sustain their life's work.

THE QUIET POWER OF THEIR STORYTELLING

"As we started doing the salt documentaries, we realized people wanted to buy the salts. In one community in Guimaras, known for their Tultul salt, there used to be just two families left making it, and today, the whole community makes it. This girl in Iloilo makes Budbud or the Miagao salt, and now she has a whole contingent of the women in Miagao who are making the salt."

Beyond cultural preservation, FEATR's work also puts to the surface an often-overlooked issue affecting agriculture and biodiversity. It's apparent there's a multi-layered depth in what this media company has uncovered.
