[WATCH] Rappler Talk Entertainment: ‘Lakambini’ and the herstory of Katipunan

As July 7th arrives, marking the historical founding of the Katipunan by Andres Bonifacio and fellow revolutionaries dedicated to ending Spanish rule, a new film project is poised to re-examine this pivotal era through a distinct lens. The upcoming movie, titled "Lakambini: Gregoria de Jesus," promises to offer a feminist perspective on Philippine history.

Described as a meta docu-fiction film, this project took a decade to bring to fruition. It chronicles the life of Gregoria de Jesus, widely recognized as the Mother of the Philippine Revolution, weaving together both traditional narrative scenes and documentary-style footage. The film features a cast including Lovi Poe, Paulo Avelino, Rocco Nacino, Gina Pareño, and Elora Españo.

To delve deeper into the importance and creation of this long-awaited film, Rappler Talk Entertainment is set to host a special discussion. Multimedia reporter Juno Reyes will be joined by historian and resource expert Xiao Chua, creative producer Ellen Ongkeko Marfil, and lead marketing strategist Angel Romero.
