In this film produced by Michael Flores, Evan Solis, and Fida Yamani, Flores, a Filipino-American, reports from the Philippines about a contentious election between the unrepentant son of an ousted dictator and a mainstream liberal. His journey takes him from the streets of New York City to Manila, and a chance encounter with a family member uncovers old family wounds that reveal his family's history with the dictatorship, marred by murder, regret, and reluctant immigration.
Flores unearths family memories of abuse and neglect, paralleling the dictatorship. In order to make sense of the election, he explores what it means to come to terms with his family’s past.
