The studentsโ works captured the spirit of the agrarian reform movement, portraying heartfelt and hopeful stories of transformation through land ownership, cooperative efforts, and empowerment. Their films not only impressed the judges with cinematic craftsmanship but also gave voice to real communities whose lives have been changed through DAR’s programs.
These achievements highlight the creativity, collaboration, and social consciousness of WMSUโs students. They also reflect the strong academic foundation and hands-on training provided by the Mass Communication Department, which continues to empower students to use media as a tool for advocacy and change. WMSU remains committed to producing socially responsible communicators and storytellers who elevate voices from the grassroots and contribute meaningfully to national development through film and media.
