A government worker and a community leader paying the ultimate price for going against "developmental programs".

By weaving together various reports, affidavits, anecdotal interviews and personal accounts, the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines. These narratives-brief and poignant-simply refuse to be relegated with the ever-growing statistics of state-sponsored violence and human rights violations in the country. More than despair and anguish, they seethe with anger and defiance
