A disillusioned farmer named Corazon Vitug protests against the government's plan to take her land and home by renouncing her Filipino citizenship and building her own micronation. Her solitary act of defiance divides people. She inspires some while gaining the unfair judgement of many who question her motives and her sanity. When a new government project hastens her displacement, Cora and the people who believe in her cause set out to reveal the webbed corruption that extends far beyond the confines of their small town. As they work against the clock and with looming threats against their freedom, Cora and the citizens of Republika ng Pipolipinas prove that what truly makes a great nation is not its land nor its history, but the courage of its people.
