Statement On the Censorship of Rights

A film opens with a torture scene- a man is tied to a chair, insisting his innocence while his captors force him to confess that he is a communist. Less than a minute later, the film ends with a dim lit, out of focus, skewed shot of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's framed picture hanging on a wall. The film ends suggesting that the torturing is not over.
