In SEEING IS BELIEVING, we follow Joey as he delivers a new "Witness" camera to Nakamata, a coalition of Indigenous groups in Central Bukidnon. Together, Nakamata and Joey begin documenting a dangerous land claims struggle, and it doesn't take long for tragedy to unfold in front of the camera.

Joey R.B. Lozano uses his personal video camera to assert indigenous land rights, and to investigate corruption and environmental degradation in the Philippines. Joey is an independent human rights activist and he's also one of the country's leading investigative reporters. He freelances for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, covering Indigenous peoples' rights and the environment, considered the two most dangerous beats in the Philippines. Joey is a board member and partner of the New York-based human rights organization Witness. Witness was founded in 1991 by musician peter Gabriel and the Lawyer's Committee for Human Rights to put new technologies into the hands of local activists around the world.

Joey's investigations began in 1986, when he helped ABC's 20/20 to uncover the "Tasaday hoax", a highly successful fraud to pass off local tribespeople as a newly discovered Stone Age culture. He soon embarked on his own investigations and started digging into illegal logging, gold mining and land-grabbing. In turn, his exposes quickly earned him repeated assassination and abduction attempts, in a country that is one of the more dangerous places to practice journalism. Since 1986, over 40 Filipino journalists have been murdered in the line of duty, according the Committee to Protect Journalists. Joey's films, Road to Pineapple and The Rule of the Gun in Sugarland can be seen at witness.org.

Presently, Joey continues to work with the Nakamata as they embark on preparing documentation for their Ancestral Domain Claims. Joey and his wife Renee Lozano, also a community worker, live in South Cotobato, Mindanao Island with their five children.
