The Blood Brothers

2024 · 94 min · Action, Drama

The movie tells of Philippine history before Islam came in and is being told in the perspective of two brothers and how the education of the other drove a wedge between them but served as a catalyst to their cultural differences. According to Montano, this project was borne out of his most meaningful visit to the municipality of Upi in Maguindanao where he met Adamat.

Directed by Cesar Montano · Written by Ronald Adamat
