Palawan, Philippines is an idyllic tropical island paradise and one of Asia’s most visited tourist destinations. But behind the picturesque powder-white beaches and lush forests is a small network of environmental vigilantes trying to protect its spectacular natural resources from destruction. Delikado follows three ecological defenders: a charismatic lawyer, an ex-illegal logger seeking redemption, and a local Mayor. People lose lives protecting the environment, but they won’t stop until they get justice. This is a test they have never before faced in the battle to save this island paradise and their homes. A gripping and urgent story of Indigenous communities fighting to keep their home alive.
