EL FILIBUSTERISMO Short Film- Chapter 4 "Kabesang Tales" and Chapter 30 "si Juli.

This short film brings to life two of the most heartbreaking chapters of El Filibusterismo. In Chapter 4, “Kabesang Tales,” we witness a father’s painful descent into despair as Kabesang Tales fights desperately for the land that symbolizes his family’s hope and dignity. Despite his sacrifice, hard work, and patience, everything is taken from him, pushing him beyond the limits of human suffering.Chapter 30, “Si Juli,” follows the quiet but crushing tragedy of Juli, who carries the weight of her family’s misfortune with courage and innocence. In her attempt to save her father, she becomes a victim of the very cruelty she hoped to escape, leaving behind a pain that echoes the silent struggles of countless Filipinos during the colonial era.Together, these chapters reveal not just injustice, but the deep emotional wounds inflicted by oppression. Stories of sacrifice, love, and the devastating cost of losing hope.Director - PakaralScriptwriter: Palti, Montaño and PiansaCast:1.) Hattan Pakaral (Kabesang Tales)2.)
