Ramona Diaz’s Sundance documentary, A Thousand Cuts, documents the struggles of Rappler and its CEO, Maria Ressa in the context of the 2019 midterm elections. Streamed for free to Filipinos in the wake of Independence Day, the film’s meaning has now changed in the light of Ressa’s guilty verdict. In this episode of Third World Cinema Club (recorded before the verdict was passed,) we take a critical look at the documentary and share insights about the film.
notes:
This is the 75th episode of Third World Cinema Club.
