On Higher Ground (2026)

• Documentary
• Family

Set against the escalating realities of environmental displacement in the Philippines, Langit Lupa interweaves the lived experiences of two distinct communities in Luzon grappling with recurring floods. In Biñan, a determined mother creates a makeshift learning space inside a crowded evacuation center for her displaced children, while in Macabebe, a resilient student navigates treacherous waters just to reach a school slowly sinking beneath the tides. This film highlights the quiet strength, endurance, and hope of families forced to adapt to a world reshaped by climate change.
