This documentary concerns the large number of Filipino children fathered by international sex tourists. The filming takes place in Angeles City, home to a US Air Force Base until 1991. Retired Americans and other nationalities still flock there to buy sex.
The filmmakers help the children make videos addressed to their dads, asking them to spend just one day with them.
Some of the mothers are still forced to work as call girls and pole dancers to support their children. In one instance where the mother became too old to work in a bar, the grandmother has assumed custody of the baby,who she supports by doing laundry. In another, the children is raised by an adopted transgender mother after being abandoned by his biological mother. The former runs a hair salon from her home to support him.
Most of her neighbors have children with absent German, Scottish, Australian, British, Irish and American fathers. They get teased at school for their mixed race appearance. This, in turn, leads to truancy, though the older girls acknowledge the importance of education, so they don’t end up working “in the bar” like their moms.
There is one interview with a British immigrant who married his Filipino lover when she became pregnant. Both have subsequently suffered strokes.
