After surviving cancer, Kara Magsanoc-Alikpala found her calling in producing cause-oriented non-fiction films. One of her latest, Delikado, made the finals of this year’s Emmy Awards for US television. The film follows a small group of daring land defenders in Palawan who make citizen arrests and confiscate chainsaws in the forests around the resort town of El Nido. One of them was killed before the film was finished.

Kara has produced numerous history films, including two on martial law in the Philippines — Batas Militar and the more recent 11,103, about martial law survivors.

She also talks to Howie about her cancer journey and the support group she established, and what it was like to be the daughter of legendary newspaper editor Letty Jimenez-Magsanoc.

He tries to bridge a political divide with his latest work, “Reconciliation Dinner.”
