#NeverAgain: Movies, documentaries on Martial Law, human rights abuses

Each year on September 21, the Philippines remembers one of the darkest chapters in history. On September 23, the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos formally announced via national television that the country was under Martial Law. Proclamation 1081, which placed the country under martial rule, was signed on September 21.

From then and now, Philippine cinema has strived to tackle political and social issues, whether it be through documentaries or works of fiction.

Canadian director Nettie Wild explores three diverging political wings in the Philippines: the political left, the armed revolution, and the opposition of both – the armed reactionary right. premiered for the first time in the Philippines viaThe Kingmaker. One of the main talking heads of the documentary is Imelda Marcos, late late dictator’s wife. Greenfield also speaks to victims of Martial Law – Pete Lacaba, May Rodriguez, and Etta Rosales.

The film tracks the start of Marcos’ regime, Martial Law, the EDSA revolution, the exile of the Marcoses, and their return to the country. It also showcases the impact of historical revisionism in the country, helping boost their return to power. Greenfield also shows how human rights abuses in the country happened not only under Ferdinand Marcos but also during President Rodrigo Duterte’s rule.
