Machete Maidens Unleashed!

During the late decades of the 20th century, the Philippines stood as a hub for low-budget exploitation filmmaking, where producers could craft nearly any kind of movie they desired, on their own terms. With extremely lax labor regulations and a permissive climate for cultural expression, the country became a hotbed for cheapie cinema. This breezy, nostalgic documentary chronicles their history and the genre itself.
