"Sigwa," an all-star cast film by highly-known director Joel Lamangan, is one of the Open Directors Showcase entries to the 2010 Cinemalaya Film Festival.
"Sigwa" meaning "storm," spans 40 years of Philippine social unrest.
The story is initially told by Fil-Am Dolly, a junior correspondent of a US magazine, who was sent to the Philippines in 1970 to do a story on student activism in Manila. Today, she has returned after being arrested and deported in 1975, on the third year of martial law. Her mission is personal this time: to look for her daughter, who was supposed to have died 35 years ago, but who, she has been told, is alive.
The film, being a composite of the stories of Dolly and each one of her former activist collective, is revealed fragment by fragment, as she surprises them by her unannounced presence.
