About the film:
SIGWA (Philippines, 2010), which means storm, is a multi-award-winning film about six young lives caught in the tempest of the First Quarter Storm during the 1970′s. Set in persecution, intrigue, torture and betrayal, a bloodstained page in the history of the Philippines. The movie recounts and exposes untold stories of the horror and sins of an abusive regime.
Featuring an all-star cast including Zsa-Zsa Padilla, Tirso Cruz, Marvin Agustin, Dawn Zulueta, and Gina Alajar. Directed by award-winning film and tv director Joel Lamangan (Mano Po, The Flor Contemplacion Story) and written by award-winning Philippine playwright Bonifacio Ilagan. Both director and writer are former youth activists who participated in the First Quarter Storm in the 1970′s and were incarcerated under Martial Law.
