Summary
The Philippine-American War of 1899 was one of the most violent imperial wars of the 20th century and set the precedent for U.S. foreign policy in Southeast Asia, yet few remember the details of the war or why it was fought. The film is told from the unique perspective of the film's co-director, Camilla Benolirao Griggers, who draws parallels between the history of war and violence between the two countries and her own family history as the granddaughter of a U.S. calvary soldier and a Filipina seamstress.
