Give Up Tomorrow

Directed by Michael Collins & Marty Syjuco, THOUGHTFUL ROBOT, USA, 2011, 95 min
Set amidst old world vestiges of colonialism, classicism and backdoor politics in the Philippines, Give Up Tomorrow rivetingly exposes a Kafkaesque contemporary world of corruption and injustice. In a murder case that ends a nation’s use of capital punishment, but fails to free an innocent man, two grieving mothers personify the chasms – both nightmarish in scope – that divide two families and, by extension, a nation.
