Coup D'etat: The Philippines Revolt offers a raw glimpse into the turbulent days of 1986, right before the Marcos regime crumbled. Peter Couchman’s approach feels quite intimate, almost like being a fly on the wall during crucial moments of protest and passion. The pacing is gripping, with a sense of urgency that captures the chaos and emotion of the uprising. It's not overly polished, which I find adds to its authenticity. Sure, the interviews and archival footage blend together, but that only immerses you deeper into the atmosphere of revolution. What stands out is the powerful sentiment of collective hope and resilience from the Filipino people—definitely a notable piece for anyone interested in political documentaries or historical events.
