The documentary aims to show how child marriage may lead to illiteracy and violate children’s fundamental rights. Solomon’s success as one of the first licensed professional teachers in his village serves as an inspiration to other runaway grooms and brides who fought for their right to get a formal education. In December 2021, President Rodrigo signed the Republic Act 11596, outlawing the practice of child marriage in the Philippines.
