Philippines body parts sale documentary by Singapore students

Posted on October 4, 2007 by Benjamin Koe


Walang Bato’, or ‘Without a Kidney’ in Tagalog, is an independent documentary project about body parts sales in the Philippines. We’re still in the midst of production.

If you have any related information/stories , do drop us a mail at colouredsky@gmail.com. We’re definitely open to funding opportunities.
A digital media kit is also available upon request.

This is from my friend’s university mate’s final year project. These (can I say) kids have a fantastic documentary in the works and are obviously looking for support.

I blogged about another friend’s documentary earlier. These guys made the film while they were students too and their film made a debut at Cathay’s Picturehouse cinema here in Singapore.

I’m not a fan of local films, but these documentaries have touched me. Here’s to lending my support.

    Would they be interested in the organ trade at Singapore private hospitals? there are some interesting recent publications on “emotionally related” living donors of organs in Singapore

    Sobering to know how tough life is like elsewhere isn’t it?

    Thank you Benjamin for the Post.
    I’m Sam, co-producer on the film.
    Blogs like yours will help give the doco legs, hopefully it’ll lead to funding opportunities and more story leads.

    Paul:
    Yes, as part of our research we’ll be doing some legwork with nephrology depts in Singapore Hospitals. Do drop us a mail at colouredsky@gmail.com if you have anything.

    Cheers
