Metro Manila (2013)
Movie
Released
A family's move into Manila makes housing, transport and employment inseparable from the question of safety. Sean Ellis gives the father's armoured-truck job a frighteningly concrete place in the city's circulation of money. Its thriller machinery grows out of who can afford to refuse a dangerous offer. The exploitation and violence are harsh, with the city shown through newcomers' narrowing options.
