Die Bootsmänner von Pagsanjan (1980)

Directed by Karsten Peters, Peter Kern

Documentary

In the Philippine jungle, on the river of the same name, lies the small town of Pagsanjan, about 100 km from the capital Manila. Here, boatmen transport tourists daily in narrow dugout canoes upstream over rapids and past cliffs and rocks to the mighty waterfalls of the Pagsanjan Canyon, which is over 100 meters deep. However, their hard and, above all, dangerous work barely provides them with the necessities of life, let alone social security.
