Filipinos, in general, are so touchy especially when a foreigner says something not good about our country and our people. But, without them noticing, they, too are discriminatory and racist. This is clearly depicted in this film.

Filipinos, in general, are so touchy especially when a foreigner says something not good about our country and our people. But, without them noticing, they, too are discriminatory and racist. This is clearly depicted in this film.
David F. weaves three stories, of different periods in Philippines' history of its people: from the Fil-Am war to the present-day Clark Airfield. In all these episodes, the film suggests different levels of discrimination that African-Americans (soldiers to Amerasians of black lineage) experience from Filipinos.
This film is a slap to every Filipino bigot's face.
Rating: 3.0/4.0
