Synopsis by Jinko Labitag
In 2012, Maria Ressa, along with three other colleagues, founded Rappler, an online news portal that publishes investigative pieces. The news site caught the attention of the Duterte-led Philippine government in 2016, when it started publishing articles critical of the administration, especially with regards to drug policy and disinformation. A Thousand Cuts is a documentary film that centers on this conflict, and what its repercussions are on press freedom in the country. Written and directed by Ramona S. Diaz.
