The Philippines: A Legacy of Violence is this fascinating documentary that really captures the tumultuous era of the Marcos regime and the Aquino revolution. It dives deep into how underground video became this powerful medium for dissent and expression. You can feel the raw energy of that time, with a mix of dark humor and poignant satire that springs from the struggles of the people. What’s striking is how it explores the transformation of media in the Philippines, with President Aquino emerging almost as a bizarre anti-hero in this unfolding narrative. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but that just adds to the chaotic feel of the story being told. The practical effects are minimal, but they pack a punch in conveying the message. A real gem for collectors interested in political history and media.
