Hamog(2015)

Hamog is a Filipino film that examines the lives of street children, known locally as batang hamog, who survive by loitering and hustling along Manila's busiest thoroughfares, particularly EDSA. The film offers an unflinching look at the daily struggles, survival tactics, and harsh realities faced by these young people navigating urban poverty. Through their stories, Hamog captures the desperation and resilience of children abandoned to the streets, forced to fend for themselves in one of the Philippines' most congested and unforgiving environments. The film serves as a social commentary on urban inequality and the plight of society's most vulnerable members, presenting their world with documentary-like authenticity. It's a stark portrait of childhood lost to circumstance and systemic neglect in the heart of Metro Manila.
