Award-winning actress and former child star Therese Malvar stepped behind the camera as she take on a new role in the documentary movie 'Food Delivery: Fresh from the West Philippine Sea.'
Therese is the associate producer of the docu-movie, which already made its international premiere at the Doc Edge NZ Film Festival in New Zealand.
"This is the beginning of a long and brave journey for our film, Food Delivery: Fresh from the West Philippine Sea. We just had our premiere night at Doc Edge Film Festival!" she proudly shared on Instagram.
Therese revealed that the documentary, which was originally scheduled to be part of Puregold Cinepanalo in 2024, was banned in the Philippines.
She continued, "From being banned in its own country to now being screened internationally -- and still, with a Filipino audience by our side [thank you NZ Filipino community for the support]
I still hope that one day, our fellow Filipinos back home will get to see this. That we'll finally find a space there where stories like ours can be told freely. For now, we sail slowly, but surely, back home."
