“Burgos” is probably the most courageous Filipino film in recent years.
Based on the true story of a closely-knit family, beautifully written by Ricardo Lee, “Burgos” takes the audience to the most important scenes of almost six years of searching for activist Jonas Burgos.
Unlike Joel Lamangan’s indie films in the past years, which are mainly fictional although inspired by real events, such as “Dukot” and “Deadline,” “Burgos” is an honest-to-goodness non-fiction film.
