Advisory: Mature themes

DESAPARECIDOS
By Adam Guevarra Almeniana

plural noun:  a person who has disappeared, presumed killed by members of the armed services or the police

How long will we hide? How long will we stay silent, turning a blind eye? What is true freedom for, and for whom do we fight? For decades, the state has been systematically eroding our rights, yet we persist, living through different forms and times. We may disappear, but we will not be forgotten. This is a story of vanishing, of relentless search, and of rebellion.

Performed in Tagalog-English (Tag-lish) with English surtitles
