the last journey

missed you at the premiere too!


i must say, (biases aside), the docu-drama was superb.

the whole docu was narrated only by two people:

ninoy, of course...


and cory (through her LAST interview).



i was afraid bam might throw us off, but he did a great job... and there were no speaking parts so i guess that helped.


the whole docu revolved around ninoy's actual last journey home. 7 days (i think) of traveling from boston, until that dreadful day in the airport.


so many revelations and untold stories...


even if we all know what happened on the 21st of aug, it really hurt so much to see that infamous footage in the movie.


it was not a whodunnit at all...

in fact, the goal of the film is to make the younger generations watch this, so that the lives of these 2 national heroes will not be in vain.

it was really so heart wrenching... anyway i'll stop talking so i won't give too much away.

here's to doing what we can for democracy, for filipinos, and for freedom. naks.

You mentioned the young people.

well this is my thread with one of the young people

read what she says, she wishes school taught her more of what happened.

Glad you are using your Internet to be part of the awareness process. My blog has the occasional comment of how superficial some use of the Internet is.
