“Harana” is about a homesick Las Vegas lounge singer trying to connect with her daughter growing up back in the Philippines.

In fact, the short film by Marie Jamora aims to shed light on overseas Filipino workers in the US.

Moreover, “Harana” also took home the Micheaux Film Festival award for Outstanding Music.
