Abstract/Summary

This study aims to highlight the struggles and challenges during the socio-political disturbance period of the Martial Law era in the Philippines, particularly the abductions during that time. The researchers mainly focus on the harassment and violence experiences of the Martial Law victims, as well as the aftermath of this event. The story revolves around the experiences of Tina, the protagonist, written in a memoir sent to her son, Angelo.

This feature film aims to shed light on the stories of the Martial Law era victims. Many of their stories remain untold up to this very day, with many victims opting just to let it go or simply remain silent about the wrongful treatment they received for fighting for justice. Little are those who have come forward to speak about their experiences during this dark period of Philippine history.

This feature film aims to bridge the gap between the younger generation and those who have experienced the abuses of Martial Law. Through the perspective of Angelo recounting Tina’s memories, this film aims to make the stories of those who were abused relatable to the newer, younger generation of the audience.
