Description

Globalization comes to Hacienda Looc, a Philippine seaside community, which has to defend its way of life and ancestral farmland against golf course development. This video presents one community's fight for survival against forces of economic development. Conflicting views are voiced by peasants, developers, bureaucrats, and golf boosters in the Philippines, including Tiger Woods.
