Supot
The film Supot is anchored to the saying “The only limit to human restraint is his unfathomable will to persevere.” It would be a way to inspire not only teachers considering that the lead actor of this film is a teacher himself and the film was inspired by his real life story. It would undoubtedly give inspiration to people of all walks of life to never surrender amidst life adversities as we relate the message of this film which is centered to the unfathomable will of a person to persevere in every challenge set before him. Being the source of such inspiration is somehow a noble undertaking that no amount of money can buy.
