“Remember”

Produced in Tagpopoot in the Langilan tribe by Danny Catua in 2002. Language: Ata Manobo

Mauro has a family and is involved in small logging business. Too bad that most of the days of his life he is drunk and gets really violent. He tries to improve in that he promises his wife to stop drinking but there is just no power to do so. As the pastor comes to visit and encourage him to make a start with Jesus he denies it flatly. His friend however, who is also a drunkard starts to follows Jesus. Mauro’s life on the other hand ends in tragedy as he is shot dead one day by a village guard because he just wouldn’t lay down his bush knife.
