“A short documentary exploring the war on drugs in the Philippines through the eyes of young rebel punks - an underground community living on the outskirts of a society where looking different is a courageous act.”
An intimate journey into the heart of the small but powerful DIY punk movement in modern-day Philippines. They hitchhike, beg for food, screen print bootleg band t-shirts, and help vulnerable members of their community. But President Duterte's violent 'War on Drugs' makes a punk lifestyle an incredibly dangerous choice.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Jess Kohl's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Anarchy in the Philippines is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
