Episode overview
With a Christian population of over 90%, the Philippines is known for its lengthy and elaborate Christmas celebrations, which are ingrained into local culture. But at this time when families give thanks, there was seemingly little to celebrate at the end of 2020, after countless livelihoods and dreams had been suddenly erased by the novel coronavirus pandemic. This episode follows one Filipino family banding together and hoping to reclaim their dreams after a difficult year.
