This powerful docu-drama by Tikoy Aguiluz attempts to seek answers to the question raised by the murder of Delia Maga and the execution of Flor Contemplation - two of the countless Filipina OCWs who are forced to leave their children for better opportunities in life, only to end up lost and hlepless in hostile lands.
The heartbreaking plight of the overseas contract workers is dramatized in the tragic tale of Flor Contemplacion - the Filipino domestic helper in Singapore convicted of murder and condemned to death. Accounts culled from reports of Amnesty International as well as classified info gathered in the Asian city-state itself are combined with actual footages and recreated scenes of events leading to the heroine's execution.
