A documentary featuring survivor stories of state-sponsored violence during the Martial Law years of the dictator, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. Thousands were jailed, tortured, raped and killed while communities were massacred in the crossfire between state forces, Maoist rebels and Muslim separatists. In 2013, the Philippine government passed a landmark law which officially recognized these atrocities and mandated compensation for the victims, funded by the illegally-acquired wealth of Ferdinand & Imelda Marcos hidden in their Swiss Bank accounts. 11,103 victims were given compensation as a result of the law.
