In Focus: Sinag Maynila 2020 Entry ‘Walang Kasarian ang Digmang Bayan’
“Sapagkat ang sining ay hindi sapat sa pangangailangan ng sambayanan.”
Walang Kasarian ang Digmang Bayan (The Revolution Knows No Gender) chronicles the journey of filmmaker, Paolo, played by Oliver Aquino, from being an activist to becoming a revoulutionary fighter. As Paolo goes through his life, he takes us with him to the current social and political situations plaguing the country.
