Synopsis
Our film focuses on a peaceful tribal man of Bukidnon, Mindanao. Waway Linsahay Saway, a Talaandig master player and maker of traditional musical instruments. He has a family of seven to support and a world in decay to save. Guided by his dreams, he starts the contagious tune to heal the land and inspire the lost children-of-the-tribe in our hearts back to the flow of natural law.
“Sakay sa Hangin” (Windblown) answers the need to contribute awareness on the wealth of indigenous culture in the Philippines and its importance in determining our long lost cultural identity
