In this episode, the hosts ask each other what's keeping them busy during the quarantine and recall the first time they saw a movie about Mindanao, its people, and concerns. John, Kikko, and Jay also discuss specific films about Mindanao and the Sulu islands by filmmakers who are not from these places. They reflect on some filmmakers' impulse to make movies about cultures other than their own, the implications of striving for authenticity, and the responsibilities of the storyteller as an outsider.
