MY FRIEND THE TERRORIST
Demetri Estdelacropolis and Malcolm Guy, 2023, 100 min., Canada

For the first 25 years of his adult life Jose Maria Sison was known to various degrees as the Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong, and Che Guevara of the Philippines. For the last 35 years of his life he has been living in exile, 10,000 km away from the bustle, the intrigue, the bribery and the squalor of Manila, in the tranquil medieval city of Utrecht, the Netherlands.

With his wife Julie (84) he lives a hand-to-mouth Spartan existence and yet they are the most charming couple. This is their love story: their love for each other, their love of country, and the love of many of their compatriots for them.

Post screening discussion with Brace Belden and Bernadette Ellorin of Friends of the Filipino People in Struggle (FFPS)!
