Ang Ritwal plot

In the buildings and cemeteries of Manila, where the living and the dead live side by side, community pride is decided on the basketball court. To mark the Feast of the Dead, two local players take the viewer into the heart of streetball, where honor is the ultimate prize. Ang Ritwal explores the power of community rituals—sacred and profane—and their role in building a sense of identity for those living in the city’s forgotten corners.
