CGiii Comment
Lupah Sug translates to 'land of the brave' in Tausug, a language used by a major ethnic Muslim group hailing from Mindanao, the southernmost island of the Philippines. This 30 minutes documentary narrates firsthand accounts of the struggle for safe space and acceptance from a group of LGBTIQ people in the region. Their stories detail their experiences being LGBT and Bangsamoro, a heterogeneous ethnolinguistic group of Muslim persons from Southern Philippines who have long struggled for the right to self-determination. Their narratives reflect how only the brave are set to survive this plight.
