A story of an Austronesian tribal people's resistance and revolt against Japanese colonization and rule in the 1930s. According to wikipedea, the people depicted in the movie, the Seediq Bale, are ethnically and linguistically related to Filipinos, Malays, and Indonesians- all Austronesian.
A true epic of a movie, it will likely take most viewers along for a ride full of all the emotions that the human struggle carries.
A most powerful film.
