Ang pirata

• Drama

Ang Pirata is a parody about corrupt personalities in power-- politicians, businessmen, big time syndicates. Its theme deals with piracy and fake representations. Bert and Gerry are brothers in law. They are presented as ruthless executioners who target people working in the underground (a drug dealer, street preacher, pirated DVD vendor). Ang Pirata was only screened once as a Cinemalaya exhibition entry in CCP last 2013 and twice this year in Cinema Centenario. Although it was finished 5 years ago, it deals with themes that are more blatantly relevant today- fake news and EJK brought about by the powers that be.
