“Manila in the Claws of Light (1975) by Lino Brocka is a powerful Filipino film that follows a man navigating the harsh realities of life in Manila in search of his missing lover. Through its portrayal of labor, migration, and survival, the film offers a deep look at urban poverty and the cost of chasing hope in the city.”
