rains $300.00 days a year in the farrows. at the height of summer temperature reaches just 12 degrees celsius. and in the winter it's only light for a few hours each day. i know how it feels to me i know because the 1st time i had fire and i thought there are no going to be north or between us in the far right so i was just like going to grad thing that. i going viral i learned i am thinking well how can i make friends they don't understand my long ways i don't understand their language. antonette and reagan 1st met on cyprus she was working in a hotel there and he was a guest on holiday for 2 years they wrote e-mails and phone one another then on to net talked up her courage and follow drink into the pharaohs

10:34 pm
yes he already had the name but the follow the through the fire while it's the secret we are not allowed to. fairly say anyone not less. the only allowed to say it is already in the service and we are ready to give her and him being the prince when you get pregnant you already thinking of her name i do the same i was so because i can love you i feel like i can. but antonette has resigned herself to waiting until the baptism. in the meantime she makes the most of the few hours of sunshine. her husband ray can is a pharmacist. he spends most of his free time working on the house and torch on the capital of the fair islands.
10:35 pm
the 1st time reagan told her where he lived until it had absolutely no idea what to expect she'd never even heard of the barrow islands. i don't fire i learned their fire part of it so i was thinking oh you're leaving. all this stuff. and they said this part of denmark and i need to google. denmark. and looking very spyro i like my kind of crying. then i go far i learn. in denmark at the end then i guess you know my grandmother tried to go off on its very far away from denmark. and even farther away from internet home city of manila. the capital of the philippines boasts some 13000000 residents barely 20000 live and her new hometown.
10:36 pm
the pharaohs comprise 18 islands made a fall cannick rock. some 50000 people call this european outpost home. but living on an island surrounded by a unspoiled nature can get lonely at times. especially for the men who far outnumber women on the faroes for years young women have been leaving the pharaohs to study and start a new life abroad the men left behind practiced traditional professions and abide by traditional gender roles. at the port of tortious malta new honasan sells his catch of the day. his father and grandfather were also fisherman it's tough work for the guys but that's not what fair always women are looking for these days ya pay a quarter you know sluggish down here has. put out the times of change. but it's
10:37 pm
not you know when i was young it was totally different but i spend a little spending today young women are mainly looking for excitement in the farrows doesn't have as much to offer them as denmark germany or france for example with. more 10 son andreas is also a fisherman his generation in particular is affected by the shortage of women on the pharaohs andreas is single but many of his friends have partners from southeast asia. to look for the money out of it enough these days it's easy to find a beautiful young woman you sit down on the computer with a click and enter and they're right there on the floor and there's a big difference between them going for always one with a filipino you go all around sort of else loaded she cooks cleans and does laundry for a lot of the store. while many fair always women are leaving the islands philippinas are arriving and taking
10:38 pm
their place. langley thomas among them. she was one of the 1st filipino women to come to the barracks. my 1st day i was told by a jet lag and. bark. i'm like. so i been seen so much neighbor time i didn't plan to stay here for just the tribal war but. also for my ex. for 12 years bang left her dream life she found love security and started a family. as the mother of 2 daughters she enjoyed her life on the remote pharaohs. but when she discovered her husband was cheating on her on able to accept this she worked up the courage to separate from him since then
10:39 pm
why it hasn't been easy to house it is so much memories fall again i'll just stay in the house so i just go for a try i like driving on my own. then i can be my life my locks now but if you are going to be soon. if you're in the army. you. bang wasn't prepared to give up the life she made for herself on the pharaoh's. for you. but she refused to stay with her husband purely for financial reasons so she's found work to support herself and her children.
10:40 pm
why didn't they create anything maybe as some changes i would do it but i don't think that they would. if i did it did then i would. i i don't maybe there's something you. know i don't regret and it's good to know i'm satisfied right now no. bank has only ever returned to the philippines wants with her daughters carina and johana not because bank considers the faroes to be her home. she supports her parents in the philippines whenever she can. but never for a 2nd did she consider returning there after her separation. i miss my parents but on this journey. i don't know. i don't mean.
10:41 pm
i think i'm here with my children my my children. by contrast and she do indeed have since truman wanted nothing more than to leap the pharaoh's. like many paralysed women of her generation she headed for denmark as soon as she finished school. after attending university in roskilde she landed a job in copenhagen. it was more exciting than life in the faroes. that's why many young fair always women never return. though in loon has. out just to save a life here can be very constraining compared to the big cities it's completely different here. i just wanted to get away and leave it all behind me. that was the main reason why i left back there everything was just too small but after time i
10:42 pm
realise that no matter where i go the life here will always be a part of me. and i guess so when she was 24 inches low and decided to return. she was homesick and long to raise a family on the ferry. 3 years ago she entered fair always has been tied to or moved back. not long afterwards their son when he was born. in june is striving to be an independent and emancipated woman in this traditional society. so certainly. in the past it was a huge problem that the women left and didn't come back. back. but i think that things are slowly changing here that someone like me has returned to
10:43 pm
the islands in their mid twenty's is actually quite unusual if a jew or a full time mother. now she's on a mission into the one aims to become a role model for a new generation of self-confidence they're always women. that's why she's running for parliament. she aims to make the pharaoh's a place women no longer feel the need to run away from a place with opportunities equal opportunities for me ever to leverage the. 32 after being away for so long it was really important for me to return to the fire. break the next 13 i realized i can make a bigger difference here than i could in copenhagen or elsewhere. i come from here here and i know the place and i know how things work now i want to use that to change a few things on the islands dana we're not back off. her
10:44 pm
goal is to become the 1st woman under the age of 38 in the new parliament she says it's time to do away with all gender roles. today she's taking to the streets of the capital tore shot to get her message out and you know when is the face of a new generation and a new era. you know was there she was. the remote islands are starting to move with the times. this is a pharaoh pride parade held the torch on. not long ago such an event would have been unheard of here for angelou and the parade is an important sign that mindset search changes. yeah yeah yeah it's a fabulous sign that so many people are here to show we don't want to go back to
10:45 pm
the last century we want the fairest to be an even more open era colorful country and. that's a great feeling it's fantastic yeah it was. colorful . weir and modern. angelou once hopes for a more diverse future aren't shared by all there are always people. that antoinette and reagan's house things are more traditional. got the national holidays just around the corner when antonette where the traditional dress for the 1st time. it was a look see looks absolutely beautiful wearing that i've always felt that we swim and look better than the federalist made. especially the foreign women see and my wife wearing those clothes so. i think
10:46 pm
a fall fell in love again when i thought that for antonette the national dress is more than just a garment. i feel so proud because everybody. in the theater stand so for in their i feel regulates the way. you feel included in this if you are aware of it. it's very important for me. feeling you belong and are part of society. that was much tougher for the 1st filipinos who came to the pharaohs some 2 decades ago. i think. they are used to hearing that. we're not invincible anymore because we are growing.
10:47 pm
around 200 filipinos now live on the pharaohs. they form the largest group of newcomers many have also brought relatives or female friends to the islands. the filipino community here holds regular get togethers which are very important to antonette. so sometimes it's lonely not to have to live you know. although we are included in the fire with us i still. feel very. feel home to be with some believe you here is a long ways there is thought here is the same food that you miss. those kind of. the 3 nights to have a community. all of her girlfriends have paralysed partners. today they've come to me to answer that's new baby girl. i would love for you
10:48 pm
because i like the life. there if you did the libyans i really feel safe for her to go on. in the night time i am not sure if you come back a lot of those. in the far islands you can go anywhere and. the war is still out even in my because i know it's very safe. it's good. to raise if i'm going to my right. meanwhile bang is raising her children on the pharaoh's without relying on a man's help. she's found work at a facility for children with disabilities today she's training a new colleague the pain has worked hard to get where she is today she studied to become a social educator at the university of the pharaoh islands and was the only philippine a student and wrote there. it's very common for foreigners to work in fischbach
10:49 pm
very. necessary language but then i get high dream. big dreams that's why i have been to school study. after separating from her husband being knows that marrying a pharaoh he's man doesn't necessarily guarantee a secure future so she's learned to stand on her own 2 feet it helps that she didn't just have friends in the filipino community but also mixed with the locals you can love being integrated if you don't know the language it's a child ends in a good thing for challenge because here i have to use the fairest land rage also in writing but they are very my calling so now i can. step. forward but i'm probably where i am now who i am.
10:50 pm
it's the evening before the fair always national holiday bang has invited her colleagues to dinner. they love the filipino dishes she prepares. they're going to bring the food in. and i think it's so many things i feel like i'm in philippines it's good that we are able to make it even more for you before it's so. this but now you could if i saw initial stores here in firelight on. after 12 years of marriage raising 2 children and separating from her husband bangs creating another life for herself . for many years on the pharaohs have made her into a woman knows exactly what she wants to say no longer feels she's just another
10:51 pm
filipino on the pharaoh's. she's become truly fair always herself. i haven't lived here for. i want to grow all. the internet and rake in are getting ready for the national holiday. a special delicacy is on the menu whale meat. and naturally enough arrows slicing it is a man's job. even after spending 5 years in the pharaohs. that still finds some of the island's traditions hard to stomach. right.
10:52 pm
there because. if you go. and anton that still isn't entirely sure what they celebrate on the national holiday. they're celebrating st all while it's there we thank. king of st if you are away and this is that they when he was killed. so you are actually living right so you are celebrating when he was here yes this is that they won the right place at the high end of july. or not serco which means st olaf suede is the most important day of the year in the pharaohs everyone comes out to celebrate this national holiday. it's been a fair always tradition since the 13th century. i.
