Description

This is a short biographical film about the life and death of José Rizal, considered by many to be a national hero of the Philippines. Although he is not very well known outside of the Philippines, his life was incredibly fascinating, and his written works (namely "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo") are still lauded today as foundational texts of the Filipino national identity. I believe Rizal's story deserves to be heard by a wider audience, and his contributions celebrated by the world.
