About Squatterpunk :

An ode to joy amidst poverty, SQUATTERPUNK is the pre-Spanish Philippine part of Khavn's "Black Silence Trilogy" ("2. Ultimo", "3. The Longest Moment You're Not Here"). Set in the slums of Manila, we follow the lives of the youth as they scavenge the garbage beach for a living while still managing to play around.
