"John Denver Trending" is a movie based on true stories about a Grade 8 student who becomes a victim of cyberbullying after one of his classmates accused him of stealing an iPad.
Aside from Best Picture, the film also took home some of Cinemalaya's biggest awards last year, including Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Original Musical Score, Best Editing, and the NETPAC (Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema) Jury prize.
