Aurora

The Filipino film factory Adolfo B. Alix Jr (he made three films in 2009!) ventures into the field of politics for the first time in Aurora. He allows himself to be inspired by the kidnappings that have regularly happened in recent years, especially on the island of Mindanao, where Moslems have fought for independence for centuries .
The social worker Aurora is kidnapped by a group of Moslem rebels who have lost their ideals and only plunder. In a military attack on the camp where Aurora is being held, she manages to escape. But in the jungle, she doesn't have a hope and two attackers find her the same night. Her name means 'first light of day', but it's not at all certain that Aurora will make it that far. She is brutally raped by one of the men without the other one intervening. This realistically shot scene did not get past the Filipinos censor. There was, however, no controversy about portraying the Moslem rebels.
