The film shows a series of moments involving the people of Sitio Sumirib, Barangay La Paz in the municipality of Nueva Valencia, province of Guimaras, one of the areas most affected by the
massive oil spill from the sunken tanker Solar 1 chartered by the Petron oil corporation. The film focuses more on their thoughts and feelings regarding this man-made ecological disaster, and the actions they are taking to somehow cope with very difficult times ahead.

Bunker 0: Sumirib Plus is the first in a series of films concerning the Guimaras Oil Spill disaster. It is presented here in Ilonggo and Tagalog languages with English subtitles. (Screened as part of the Independent Filmmaker Cooperative's "Guimaras: Short films from the Oil Spill"
