Description

A journalist’s struggle to bring to justice to a boy who was unjustly killed after being tagged as a drug runner and his fight to defend the weak and the voiceless caught in the middle of the government’s war against illegal drugsWhen an article about a boy who was killed after being tagged by police as a drug runner lands on his desk, journalist Zechariah ‘Zeke’ Dipasupil feels the story deserves to be on the front page.

He empathizes with the dead boy whose cries were unjustly silenced since he also lost his voice as a child. He grew up without knowing his father and had to look after his mother who suffered from depression and other ailments.

His fight to defend the weak and the voiceless caught in the middle of the government’s war against illegal drugs is reminiscent of the activist movement during the Martial Law years in the Philippines.

Later, he meets his long lost grandmother who reveals the truth about his father. As he struggles to rise above societal oppression, he finally finds the courage to respond to the many unsettling silences in his personal life.
