Unlike the other documentaries, this one actually shows the bad sides and the reality of what is happening here in the Philippines.
Plot summary
Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Journalist Maria Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy.

Finally a documentary that shows the truth!
It's more fun in the Philippines!
Not really. This movie doesn't entirely cover the entirety of the circus and horror show that is currently happening in the PH since 2016 when Duterte started his term. HOWEVER, it does give you an idea of the gruesome and bloody behind the scenes of our seemingly "fun and peaceful" country. Thousands have lost their lives, billions of pesos have been stolen, politicians from the opposing party have been imprisoned/impeached from trumped up charges and millions still worship our president. It's time to wake up!
Patient Zero before our eyes
You can ignore the negative reviews. Just like Italy had Mussolini, The Philippines has a President that is using the war on drugs and his Social Media personality to appeal to the people while he takes down the Democratic Constitution of his own government and looks to the silence the press and his opponents while rigging his own legislature with people loyal to him.
Loved that it also presented the opinions of those loyal to him and the reasons why. Loved how it explained protecting Democracy is even more important.
Everyone needs to see this.
