Amid the traditional pomp and circumstance of Filipino elections, a quirky people’s movement rises to defend the nation against deepening threats to truth and democracy. In a collective act of joy as a form of resistance, hope flickers against the backdrop of increasing autocracy.

Journalist Maria Ressa places the tools of the free press - and her freedom - on the line in defense of truth and democracy.
