- Synopsis:
This unique film from acclaimed Filipino director Raya Martin re-imagines his country's past as an elemental humanist epic. Fleeing the American invasion of the Philippines in the early 20th Century, a mother and son retreat into the jungle where they make a home. Time passes; a wounded woman is rescued; the mother dies; a child is born. The family survive isolated from the growing chaos engulfing their country, but a storm approaches that threatens their existence as American troops draw nearer... Innovatively staged on studio sets that evoke the lost period of early cinema, Independencia's mesmerising visual aesthetic creates a lush metaphor for the mythical history and identity of the Philippines. - Actors:
