MANILA, Philippines – Filmmaker Marty Syjuco spent 7 years of his life doing the film “Give Up Tomorrow”, a documentary on the rape-slay of the Chiong sisters Marijoy and Jacqueline, and the 7 men who went to jail for the crime.

Syjuco tells Breaking Glass Jay Buenaflor about the international courts that looked into the case and said it was a travesty of justice and the Supreme Court decision that upheld and raised the penalty to death. He tells us about his team’s own investigation that led them to believe without a doubt that Paco Larranga is innocent of the crime he is accused of. – Rappler.com

“Character & Story” before “Issue” for Amnesty International

In Washington D.C., Brian Evans of Amnesty International Death Penalty Abolition Campaign speaks with co-producer Patty Kim and director Michael Collins after a screening of Give Up Tomorrow. Amnesty co-presented the film at the Reel Independent Film Extravaganza in October 2012 in recognition of the World Day Against Death Penalty.

Brian explains that what attracted him to Give Up Tomorrow initially at the Good Pitch was “character and story” before the “issues”. “To me it’s much more compelling because it is not a film about human rights, it’s a film about people dealing with a human rights situation.”
