The Philippines' complicated colonial and post-colonial history remains an important subject in the work of many local filmmakers, signalling an ongoing struggle that has its roots in a dark, underexposed past. This includes many uprisings, political or religious, that were usually quickly put down by the army. At Tayug in 1931, Pedro Calosa, a local farmer who had been a migrant worker on Hawaii, led one such a peasant revolt. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
