This video documentary entitled Para sa Kanilang Natatangi... with running time of 12 1/2 minutes was shot in Hi-8 and V-8 format and edited in non-linear U-matic format. The documentary features 3 gifted children from low Income families namely Crystal Rivera, Denver Benito and Malou Sandoval. Although they may not seem to be the usual children that one considers to be gifted, the proponents believe that they have the potential to excel. There are certain social, psychological and most importantly financial factors that hinder these children to fully realize their gifts. Through the documentary, the proponents would like the audience to know that these children are still able to achieve scholastic progress despite their limited resources. However, given the right opportunity and the adequate means, they may be able to achieve more and fully realize their potential.
