We Are the Pearls

Summary In the Philippines in Tondo, Manila, in a post-apocalyptic moonscape of a place affectionately known as 'Helping Land' Smiles are as contagious as poverty but what many don't realize is that in the communities Project Pearls serves like HELPING LAND in Tondo Manilla, the two: POVERTY and SMILES are almost ubiquitous, That is to say they go hand in hand in HELPING LAND... This is simply a FACT, a shockingly counter-intuitive truism that many foreigners and even a large number of Filipinos who's lives are fortunately more comfortable find almost incomprehensible. I was no exception, it was in fact one of the characteristics that leaped out at me when Sidney and his team first led my film crew and I into HELPING LAND on that stiflingly hot day in June of 2016. As much as we found ourselves swallowed by an otherworldly broken landscape of carcasses of half collapsed massive government buildings strewn for miles amidst mountains of debris we were met by a parade of smiling faces of seemingly happy children riding bikes, playing tag, braiding each others hair, eating, jumping rope, amidst an ocean of every imaginable type of refuse, In Helping Land, there are more smiles than teeth, and food, but there is no shortage of HOPE. One of the big reasons for this is PROJECT PEARLS. PROJECT PEARLS and the words that PEARLS is an abbreviation of: Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love, Smiles is a MOLECULAR MACROSCOPIC FORMULA FOR HOPE that is as human as DNA View more details

The Truth

The Truth

The US and UK is going through some political crisis right now, there's a plan from Russia's Putin to destabilize both countries and its working. The underlying truth is there doing it behind both country's back door through the tobacco companies. It's no secret that the tobacco companies are smuggling cigarettes with the Columbian Drug cartel with the help of the Russian Mafia in Europe and the US, therefore the US and UK Tobacco companies have a strong bond with the Russian Mafia. In the US the Tobacco companies now have control over three branches of our government, The Executive, the Legislative (except for the newly elected Democratic controlled Congress), and the Supreme Court. A ruling in the US Supreme Court in June 2016, US RJ Reynolds vs EU 26 members was ruled in RJ Reynolds favor, even though the EU had a solid case. The real reason why it was ruled in Reynolds favor will startle you, it is disclosed in this documentary. The UK has a monarchy that stays out of politics, there's seems to be an implied attempt from the US Ultra-Rightwing Federalist Society party to overthrow our government soon and install a political monarchy, crowning Donald Trump King, the only thing in their way is the Democratic controlled Congress. I started investigating my son's murder, ran into one road block after another through our justice system, it took me two and a half years to find The Truth. Part of this documentary was trying to find justice for my sons contracted murder
