Presented in partnership with the Maryland Film Festival

Happy Hour and Behind-the-Scenes Theatre Tour beginning at 6 p.m.

This recently restored classic of Filipino cinema will be introduced by Ramona Diaz, acclaimed Baltimore-based documentary filmmaker (Imelda, Don’t Stop Believin’, Motherland) and parent of Park School alumna.

ABOUT THE FILM: Julio Madiaga goes to the city to look for his long lost love, Ligaya Paraiso. His search leads to a radical shift in his character – from a naive country boy to an angry young man thirsting for justice.

“A brave and extraodinary picture.” – Martin Scorsese

“The vicious depredations of the urban jungle have rarely been bared with such fierce clarity as in this 1975 melodrama, directed by Lino Brocka.” – Richard Brody, The New Yorker
