Why Is Yellow the Middle of the Rainbow?

This documentary follows Kidlat Tahimik and his son Kidlat Gottlieb Kalayaan as they create their own 'spaghetti western' inspired by a trip to Monument Valley and the Navajo Nation. The film weaves together various historical events, including the assassination of Benigno Aquino and the Yellow Revolution that led to Corazon Aquino's rise to power.

The runtime of 175 minutes allows for an in-depth exploration of these themes, while the use of a Third World Projector salvaged from Navajo land adds a layer of artistic creativity. This blend of personal narrative and political commentary makes the film a compelling study of its era.
