Philippines No Choice but Change

This film looks at the events, issues and opposition movement behind the fall of the Marcos dictatorship through the eyes of its participants including Cory Aquino, nuns, priests, lawyers, workers, farmers and guerilla fighters. Filmed all over the country, it shows why millions of Filipinos were swept into the fight for freedom.
