Isang Lahi: Pearls from the Orient

Isang Lahi: Pearls from the Orient

How does one live a happy life? This innovative docu-drama film shows us how we can. Inspired by the principles from the internationally-acclaimed and best-selling book and documentary feature, "The Secret," Isang Lahi: Pearls From The Orient features five documentarists on a journey around the Philippine archipelago in search of the answer to happiness. The documentarists travel across the islands covering the picturesque country while discovering the lives of its inhabitants. They encounter different Filipinos from all walks of life: from the bare-breasted tribes of the south to the century old farmers and bolo-men of the north, the mystical sect leaders and quack doctors to the religious nuns and priests, the rebel Muslims to the Philippine Marines, the poverty stricken communities to the successful businessmen, indigenous groups and many more - interviewing them about their beliefs and concepts in life. Along the way they met those who are stricken with hopelessness and some who triumphed in their pursuit of happiness personifying the major areas of life that affect and reflect happiness: HEALTH, WEALTH, SUCCESS, and LOVE. The triumphant stories are dramatized into 4 mini-drama movies portrayed by the Philippines' leading multi-awarded FILM and TV personalities. Finally, Filipino icon-experts from various fields prominent both locally and globally shed light on the principles lived and applied by these examples rendering the film educational. Isang Lahi: Pearls From The Orient is a fun and inspirational treat made to touch the hearts of all people from all races and all ages through a colorful journey towards something that everyone is in search for ... happiness!
