| Summary: | The third part of Nick Deocampo's award-winning trilogy of short Super-8 films about life in the eighties under dictator Ferdinand Marcos is, as Deocampo says, "an exercise in low-budget film making. I only had ten rolls of Super-8 film, three minutes each, and went out into the streets to document the revolution, without knowing how long the revolution was going to last! Thank God, I was able to cover at least four of the crucial days." This is a monument of documentary film making, showing the arrival of the victorious revolutionary army, guerrilla theatre ridiculing Marcos and celebrating Aquino, millions listening to "Cory" speak. Deocampo integrates his historic footage with his own meditations about poverty, prostitution, and gay rights. Did the revolution mean that freedom had finally come? Ironically, the first censorship that the documentarian experienced came during the Cory Aquino period.
