Palawan is a tropical island paradise and one of Asia's tourist hotspots. But for a tiny network of environmental crusaders struggling to protect its spectacular forests and seas, it is a battlefield. Delikado follows three land defenders as they brave violence, death threats and murder while trying to stop politicians and businessmen from destroying the Philippines’ last ecological frontier.

Director Karl Malakunas and Executive Director of the Palawan NGO Network Incorporated, Robert 'Bobby' Chan | CNN Philippines New Day Interview 8/3/2022
"What we have shown in our film is that there are people there who are going to continue to fight, are willing to put their lives on the line for this fight, whether it is democracy, whether it is good governance, whether it is protecting their environment, whether it is fighting corruption. They are not giving up and there are lots of them out there... These land defenders are on the frontline of our battle to contain climate change."
-Karl Malakunas, director
