"This film is
beautiful to look at with its stunning images of the verdant rice
terraces, and Alcris Galura's strong performance as Ag-Ap is the driving
force of this exotic yet familiar tale." -- METRO

Award winning Batad, is a fun heartwarming and captivating story of a
boy obsessed with owning a pair of every day trekking boots. While his
father fights to preserve the endangered rice terraces in the adjoining
village, he labors in the city selling produce to support his family.
Exposed to city life, the boy decides to escape his rural culture and
win the heart of the girl he loves by proving he has the wherewithal to
obtain a pair of trekking boots.
Batad won Best
Screenplay at the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival and
Best Actor for Alcris Galura's magnificent portrayal of a boy who wants
more from life than his small village can offer. Batad takes us to a
world far from our cosmopolitan lives and reminds us that material
obsessions will never replace honor, loyalty and tradition.
