Balikbayan #1: Memories of Overdevelopment Redux III

Magellan, the famous navigator, met his untimely death in the Philippines before he could circumnavigate the globe. Ironically, it was his slave and translator Enrique who most likely was the first to achieve the historic feat.

Kidlat Tahimik along with his bamboo camera presents an aural and video tapestry of his alternative post-colonialist version of Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition that led to the first recorded circumnavigation of the Earth.
