Kamayan (Ka-Mah-Yan) —meaning “hands” in Tagalog—is more than a way of eating. It is a cultural memory, a sacred ritual of togetherness, and a bridge between generations.

This is Not Just a Movie, It's a Movement

We are on a mission to heal the generational and geographical wounds left by migration by bringing people back together through food. This documentary is a call to reclaim our story. In a world where Filipino families are spread across islands, countries, and decades, Kamayan seeks to reconnect us to our elders, to our children, and to our shared identity by celebrating what has always united us: our food, our hands, our hospitality.
