SYNOPSIS
The Philippines was forcefully reconstructed by imperial Spain via copious sex (we now call rape), gluttonous appetite (we now call plunder), and the promise of salvation (we now call cataclysm). The 17th century was a period of continual building of churches in the Philippines, and thousands of natives, especially males, died because of forced labor.

DIRECTOR'S BIOGRAPHY
Lav Diaz
Lav Diaz is an acclaimed Filipino filmmaker born on December 30, 1958, in Datu Paglas, Cotabato, Mindanao. Diaz is known for his expansive creative control – working as director, writer, producer, editor, cinematographer, composer, and sometimes actor. His films, often epic in length, are driven not by time but by space, memory, and the rhythm of nature.
