K’na, the Dreamweaver is a film that depicts a bittersweet love story among the T'boli tribe. Focusing on a Filipino ethnic group it's a Filipino story. it is of a different culture so it's almost like watching a foreign film. The title character is a young woman who must be betrothed to another man in a warring tribe in order to achieve peace but she's in love with another man. this is a film with a strong concept and ambition but the execution is a little rocky. Still a fine, well-made film.
Still, K’na the Dreamweaver is an important piece of cultural film-making. In an age where indigenous culture – which is already overshadowed by foreign influences in the first place – continues to slide into oblivion, it’s important to have a reminder of what the Philippines once was and a glimpse of its beginnings before it became a colonial seat of power hungry foreign rulers.
the film is a sporadic reminder of how rich the Philippine culture is
