The documentary film “11,103” will premiere on September 21, marking the 50th anniversary of the Martial Law Declaration.

The movie, written and directed by Jeannette Ifurung and Mike Alcazaren, follows the story of Martial Law survivors.

The film’s title corresponds to the number of victims that were given compensation as a result of the law that recognized the atrocities during the rule of Ferdinand Marcos

For the filmmakers, the victims are more than just a number. 

“They are more than numbers. They are faces. They are more than names. They are real stories,” the filmmakers wrote in a Facebook post.

People could watch the premiere for free at Bantayog ng Mga Bayani Open Grounds
