Screening soon on the 23rd of Sep 2022 | 7pm to 9:30pm | The Kingmaker | Crane @Robertson Quay | $38 (including F&B) Centered on the indomitable character of Imelda Marcos, The Kingmaker examines, with intimate access, the Marcos family's improbable return to power in the Philippines. The film explores the disturbing legacy of the Marcos regime and chronicles Imedela's present-day push to help her son, Bongbong, win the vice-presidency. To this end, Imelda confidently rewrites her family's history of corruption, replacing it with a narrative of a matriarch's extravagant love for her country. In an age where fake news manipulates elections, Imelda's comeback story serves as a dark fairy tale. Join the SGIFF Film Club in our screening of this insightful documentary.
