Backwash: Storm Washi Documentary

TS Sendong (Washi), the first tropical storm in decades to ravage Northern Mindanao left death, destruction, and despair in its wake. There are thousands dead, and thousands more missing. There is so much talk about loss that every new death, every discovered disappearance, is but a mere addition to the long list of existing casualties. But every tear, every drop of blood, every bead of sweat speaks of loss. Of despair. Of hope. Backwash tells the tales of Sendong’s aftermath in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City.
