On November 23, 2009, a convoy of journalists and members of the Mangudadatu clan were on their way to file the certificate of candidacy of aspiring Maguindanao governor Toto Mangudadatu. But they never made it to their destination.

As if the judge didn’t have enough to deal with—with lawyers who seem to forget whose side they were on, a suspect threatening a witness, stories of bribery and government officials who couldn’t keep their mouths shut—along comes a movie inspired by the case, directed by the king of massacre films. Meanwhile, Sanchez and his co-accused are confident they’d be acquitted.
