Die Unbeugsamen: Gefährdete Pressefreiheit auf den Philippinen (2020)
This is worth your time
This documentary is an excellent piece of journalism. You see Duterte at length, threatening journalists doing their jobs. You see men (and a woman) describing how they were hired to kill alleged drug dealers, and how they carried out the killings. In some cases, police were accused of doing the killing.
Extrajudicial killings are not new to the Philippines. Police and the military in earlier times were linked to the killings of leftists and other opponents of government. UN Special Rapporteur Philip Alston investigated in the Philippines and published a report in 2007.
It's a serious risk being a serious journalist in the Philippines. The ones who stood up to Duterte are to be commended.
The In-Laws (2003)
Great Unsung Comedy
I watch this every few years because it delivers
all sorts of laughs. Michael Douglas rarely slows down as a spy who can't quite clear his schedule the week his son (Ryan Reynolds) is getting married. Albert Brooks is the father of the bride to be. He's a hyper nervous podiatrist who accidentally gets caught up in espionage and has to deal with his fears.
This film has fantastic pacing and top notch execution of one great gag after another.
Bee Hoi!
