Synopsis: It’s 1976, and the Philippines is a mess. Some crazy filmmaker named Francis Ford Coppola is shooting an “epic action-adventure” war movie called “Apocalypse Now”, and he and his crew are treating the homeland like it’s a neocolonial playground. Amidst a civil war between the government and the communists, a typhoon goddess brewing a storm, land and people that need material and spiritual liberation – do you really wanna make a movie? Maybe that’s the strange thing about war and Hollywood – if power isn’t just about being seen, but controlling how other people see you, how do you wield the spotlight?

Featuring: nic feliciano, Joe Cascasan, Vanessa Fitzpatrick, Alex Arguelles, Jean Padua and Ara Chawdhury
