The Machine That Killed Bad People(1990)
The Machine That Killed Bad People Synopsis
The Machine That Killed Bad People is about the cultural and political history of the Philippines leading up to the overthrow of President Ferdinand Marcos in 1986. It also addresses the role of electronic media in the struggle for power, and more broadly, American intervention in the Third World. Using a structure that emulates the way television news programs construct meaning through fragmentation, the tape interweaves clips of Filipino activists and reporters, a fictional television anchorwoman and correspondent, commentary by independent filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha, Fagin's off-camera voice and script, and anonymous excerpts from commercial television.
The Machine That Killed Bad People (1990) is a documentary film directed by Steve Fagin, released on February 14, 1990 with a runtime of 2h. It stars Steve Fagin, Trịnh T. Minh-hà, Constance DeJong and Ron Vawter.
