A Movement Against the Transparency of the Stars of the Seas Trailers

A contemplation on the meanings of movement in the migration experience: the grace and skill of a Filipina domestic worker are juxtaposed with devotional dances to the Santo Niño statue that Magellan brought to the islands in 1521. The ensuing galleon trade of silk and porcelain for New World silver initiated the global economy, and the cycle where female care labor is now the commodity in demand.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
