the money i send

01

Synopsis

Living in an office space in New York City, Roy has built a life around sacrifice. A Filipino immigrant working tirelessly to support his family in the Philippines, he sends much of what he earns back home. But behind every dollar is a personal cost—loneliness, responsibility, and the pressure of carrying the dreams of those thousands of miles away. The Money I Send explores the unseen sacrifices behind remittances and the human stories hidden behind the money sent home.
