Manila's corrupt underbelly spells doom in Lino Brocka's celluloid milestone.

The late, great Filipino filmmaker and activist Lino Brocka delivers an angry yet compassionate portrait of urban hardship during the Martial Law era, as a determined young man arrives in Manila in search of his girlfriend, yet finds himself mired in the effects of poverty and corruption.
