MEMORIES OF A FORGOTTEN WAR
(Camilla Benolirao Griggers and Sari Lluch
Dalena/2002/16mm)
On
the premise that true democracy requires accurate historical memory, the
film sets the record straight about some crucial events in the history of
Philippine-American foreign relations.
"A powerful and bound-to-be controversial film, a first on the largely forgotten, some would say ignored, Philippine-American War of 1896, one of the bloodiest wars of colonization ever." (Asia Times)
Special Guest: Co-Director Sari Lluch Dalena
