Did anyone actually do any research of Filipino people? Perhaps the villages portrayed in the movie are made up poor people, but would they also all be filthy? Smudges of dirt on their faces and torn clothing seemed to be the only direction given to the costuming and makeup people on the movie.
By comparison, the white saviors in the movie, the beautiful doctors all have perfectly applied eye liner, lovely coiffed hair, and designer garb.
There also seemed to be a lot of down time for these visiting doctors. Sitting by the ocean, sitting by a pool, while the doctor in charge runs around doing all the prep work for the next village they will travel to. The actual doctoring portrayed really cut in to the leisure time and chatting.
Totally unrealistic, and totally offensive too all things Filipino.
