Aswang (2019)

2019 · Documentary · 85 min. · Philippines

Aswang (2019) delves into the chilling reality of the Philippines, where the term "Aswang" traditionally refers to a menagerie of malevolent spirits from folklore, including witches, vampires, ghosts, and werewolves. However, under the presidency of Rodrigo Duterte, these mythical creatures have seemingly manifested in the grim reality of Manila's streets. The documentary explores the brutal consequences of Duterte’s drug war, where vigilante death squads have left tens of thousands of drug users, dealers, and innocent bystanders dead, tortured, or kidnapped over the past three years. The film chronicles the harrowing experiences of individuals whose lives have been irrevocably altered by these violent events.
