SUMMARY:PMFS September Film: Manila in the Claws of Light
DESCRIPTION:Julio Madiaga\, a simple Pilipino fisherman from the countryside\, travels to Manila to find Ligaya\, the woman he loves\, who went away with a mysterious woman who promised her a better future in the City. When he arrives\, he becomes immersed in the city lifestyle and gets involved with its inhabitants\, experiencing extreme poverty\, hard luck\, and the overbearing need to grind for daily sustenance. While Julio relentlessly searches for Ligaya\, the city changes him little by little\, and he becomes like an animal doomed to live only for survival in a wild\, inescapable jungle. With ethical and emotional sophistication\, it dramatizes the suffering of the disadvantaged with characters that feel individual yet archetypal. This extraordinary film explores the destructive power of money and urban corruption\, how cities like Manila slowly consume the poor. Every institution\, from labor to media to law enforcement\, fails the characters. Their story isn’t rare. It’s ordinary. And that’s what makes it devastating. \nDrama / Mystery\nRuntime 2 hr 5 m\nPhilippines\n1975\nTV-14 \nTrailer for Manila in the Claws of Light \nDoors Open at 7pm \nTickets are CASH ONLY at the door \n$5 + $5 annual membership
