This film explores Benigno Aquino evolution in the Philippines from a “boy wonder” politico into a thoughtful and effective practitioner of nonviolent resistance—despite a political culture dominated by violence. Subjected to eight years in prison, Aquino became the archetype for using nonviolence as the method for driving out national dictators and strengthening the cause of constitutional government.
