Resource Title Mundo ni Shaider: an interactive documentary about a former child in conflict with the law
Date Issued 07 December 2023
Abstract This thesis is a creative production project that aims to produce an educational Interactive Documentary (I-doc) about Shaider, a former Child in Conflict with the Law (CICL). A CICL refers to a child who is alleged as, accused of, or adjudged as, having committed an offense under Philippine laws (RA 9344, Chapter 1, SEC. 4, 2006). Shaider was a minor who was framed as a drug and murder suspect during the infamous war on drugs campaign that started in 2016. Almost five years of his life were spent in the jail, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) center, and the Bahay Pag-asa to pay for the sins he did not commit. In 2020, his social worker encouraged him to plead guilty even if he is innocent to fast track the resolution of his drug case. In 2021, the court dismissed his murder case due to insufficient evidence. Mundo ni Shaider is comprised of twenty (20) webpages containing thirteen (13) videos that will unveil the untold story of Shaider as a CICL. The creative project will be based on the research gap that will be identified in the review of related literature on mainstream media CICL representations. Through an interactive educational and awareness campaign about the plight of a CICL crafted through a non-linear rhizomatic storytelling, the I-doc presents ways that aim to address the gap in representation of the CICL as well as amplify the best practices observed in existing mainstream media representations.
