One Saturday outside a Filipino community centre in Montreal, the neighbourhood wakes to find that someone has committed a heinous crime: they’ve burned the flag of the Philippines flying outside. Despite public outrage and a fevered investigation to find the culprit, the representatives of the community centre fall mysteriously silent about the whole affair. Through the lies and accusations, just one question remains: what really happened that fateful morning? Based on a true story, With Fervor Burning is a bold, funny exploration of the struggles and contradictions of the Filipino diaspora in Canada.
