Insurrecto

Two women, a Filipino translator and an American filmmaker, embark on a road trip through Duterte's Philippines to collaboratively craft a film script about a historical massacre, with their perspectives intertwining through rival narratives. Insurrecto explores themes of memory and history, challenging traditional storytelling by blending multiple narratives and questioning the erasure of the past. At its core, the novel is a powerful examination of how history is remembered, forgotten, and reconstructed, revealing hidden aspects of a forgotten conflict that influenced future Philippine and American history.
