Paraíso is a "direct cinema" documentary film that follows the lives of child survivors one month after the tragedy of the strongest typhoon ever recorded on earth, Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. We will see their struggles as they live on and rebuild their lives in what was once their Paraiso, which is but a memory of tragedy and great loss.

Director Statement
Paraíso is a moving and intimate documentary about the children survivors of typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda). It captures the day to day activities of the survivors and how they cope up and rebuild their lives 1 month after the tragedy. Inspired by the documentary technique of direct cinema, we want the docu to have a real and authentic feel, as we follow their lives, like an observer.
When we made the documentary, we heard many stories both heartbreaking and inspiring. Paraíso is our message in a bottle; we want to share these stories of the child survivors to the world. We hope to touch and inspire many viewers with the documentary especially the international community, to encourage them, a call to action to help and reach out to these children. Paraíso might not be able to change minds, but it changes hearts.
