Duterte's Hell

About This Movie

Duterte's Hell offers a raw, unflinching look at the brutal reality of President Duterte’s war on drugs in the Philippines. The documentary is jarring, with a pace that feels almost relentless. It digs into the chilling atmosphere of fear and violence that has enveloped the nation, capturing the stories of those impacted—families torn apart, lives lost. The lack of a known director adds to the film's gritty authenticity, as if it’s an unsanctioned glimpse into chaos. There’s little in the way of practical effects; it’s all raw footage and stark storytelling. The performances, if you can call them that, are real people caught in a horrific situation, which is what makes it distinctive. It’s not easy viewing, but that’s part of its weight.
