Synopsis: Acclaimed writer-director John Sayles examines the forgotten history of the Philippine-American War in his new film, AMIGO. When Rafael Dacanay’s (Joel Torre) rural village in the Philippines is occupied
by American troops hunting for Filipino guerillas, he comes under pressure to collaborate from both the
blood-and-guts Colonel Hardacre (Chris Cooper) and the head of the local guerillas, his brother Simon
(Ronnie Lazaro). Rafael must carefully make the near-impossible, potentially deadly decisions faced by
civilians in an occupied country.
