According to the report, Philippines-China Tensions: An 82-minute documentary about the West Philippine Sea is making waves far beyond its runtime, becoming the latest flashpoint between the Philippines and China. The documentary, which Manila says gives voice to Filipino fisherfolk and maritime defenders, found its stage in New Zealand, where China again tried, and failed, to block it.
The documentary purportedly exposes the daily struggles in contested waters. The documentary went on to win the Tides of Change Award at New Zealand's Doc Edge Film Festival, with organisers calling it a “visually stunning, deeply moving story of resilience, unity, and freedom.” As Beijing continues to assert sweeping claims in the South China Sea, the documentary stands as both resistance and record.
It is just a story; in reality, China never quits believing the West Philippines Sea belongs to China.
