SYNOPSIS

[EN] In Manila’s tenements and cemetery slums, where the living and the dead coexist, community pride is decided on the basketball court. During the Day of the Dead, two local ballers take us into the heart of the streetball scene where honour is the ultimate prize. 'Ang Ritwal' explores the power of communal rituals — sacred or profane — and their role in creating a sense of identity for those on the city's forgotten fringes.
