by Patrick de Belen
After his younger brother’s suicide, a Filipino-Canadian poet reconstructs a voice from journals, songs, and memory. Last Note is an experimental documentary that blurs reality and narration to confront grief, mental illness, and cultural silence within diasporic Filipino families.
