October 11 – Called to Rescue Philippines (CTR PH) launched a short film yesterday at the KMC Armstrong Cafe. The short film stars popular young celebrities Donny Pangilinan and Nourijune Hooshmand that aims to raise awareness on the recovery and reintegration of human trafficking survivors to the society.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Written and directed by international filmmaker Dean Colin Marcial, the film \u2018GRADUATION\u2019 is about a young woman played by Nourijune, who fell into depression after surviving human trafficking. Through the support of her brother, played by Donny, she was able to slowly get back on her feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beyond Rescuing<\/b><\/p>\n

GRADUATION was the brainchild of Marcial, CTR PH Advocacy Head Abby Anciano, and CTR PH President Anthony Pangilinan. The three, advocates and active volunteers of CTR PH, found the need to bring emphasis not only to a survivor\u2019s rescue, but to their reintegration to society as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Bakit hanggang rescue nalang? Yung after-rescue rin kailangan.<\/span><\/i> [This project] was out of frustration for me, and is one of the reasons I decided to do this,\u201d Anthony explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOur main focus [was on a] survivor\u2019s reintegration into society. It\u2019s something that I drew on, something Donny and Nourijune drew on as well,\u201d Dean expressed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From there, the two gathered a team of volunteers to bring the short film to life. With help from family, friends, clients, and donors, Graduation was set out to be one purpose-driven production.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heeding The Call<\/b><\/p>\n

The short film centers Cinemalaya actress Nourijune Hooshmand and Star Cinema actor Donny Pangilinan. Donny is a long-time anti-human trafficking advocate, while both are currently active CTR PH volunteers. Director Dean Marcial, script-writer and director of the film, handpicked the two for the starring roles.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When asked about participating in the project, Nourijune and Donny expressed no hesitation whatsoever.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Dean accepted to go through this project, alongside Nour, it\u2019s not something I had to think twice about,\u201d\u00a0 said Donny, \u201cI specifically chose to do this. I really believe this is something we needed to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis [advocacy] is really important work. I\u2019m very thankful that I had this opportunity. I\u2019m really happy to be a part of this,\u201d Nourijune shared.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everyone Is Called To Rescue<\/b><\/p>\n

Doctor Cyndi Romine, international director of Called To Rescue, noted: \u201cThe film is for everybody because we all know somebody. To assume we don\u2019t know somebody would be an error on our part.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Though people might wonder who this film is truly for, whether it\u2019s for those rescued or those taking care of the rescued, Graduation is a film made to touch all audiences who view it. It sheds light on the significance of aftercare work and a loving community \u2014 a part of healing that is more often than not, overlooked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce a person is rescued, you need to meet a lot of people and still go through the journey with the help of people who love you,\u201d Donny noted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe bond of family is different, and knowing someone is there for you can really help what you\u2019re healing from,\u201d Nourijune adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through the 5-minute film, CTR PH hopes to draw attention to the post-rescue challenges of trafficking survivors and promote the collective role of community (especially family members) in addressing their needs, supporting their rehabilitation process, and cultivating a safe space for their ongoing journey of healing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes a village to raise a child: It takes a village to heal a child,\u201d Anthony shared. Everyone is called to rescue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GRADUATION was made possible with the generous donors: Magic Crackers, Jollibee, Grab Philippines, KMC Solutions, Cabalen, MediCard Philippines, and LabX Corporation.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
