Bring it Home

Combined programme | IFFR 2005

We think we know that the Philippines form a poor country. We can well imagine that poverty occasionally leads to inhuman choices. It’s more than likely that not every district or island is safe enough to visit without concern. But after seeing the cruel film Apple, by one of the youngest film makers in the festival, the concepts of poverty and forced choices get a very pointed meaning. And we haven’t even seen the main feature yet. (GjZ)
