Synopsis

Paul, a young Australian arrives in the Philippines in 1971 as Martial Law is proclaimed by President Marcos. His idealism exposes him to first-hand experiences of violence and corruption, to injustices and above all to the heroism of Filipinos during this extraordinary period of Philippine history. Towards a Distant Sea, a 'coming-of-age' story with a difference, is a dramatic personal account of one Australian against the backdrop of Philippine society. The narrative confronts issues still critical to contemporary society - sexuality and religion, the struggle for human rights, the misuse of power and violence, the search for identity and the triumph of the spirit.
