Prejudice

About This Movie

Prejudice (1988) dives into the complex and often painful narratives of discrimination through the lens of two women. Jessica, a photographer, faces backlash after a swift rise in her career, while Lelicia, a Filipino nurse, grapples with the frustrating dismissal of her credentials. The film’s tone is heavy, almost somber, yet it captures moments of resilience. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of their experiences to sink in, making the audience reflect on societal issues. While the performances are quite raw, they resonate with authenticity, portraying struggles that still feel relevant today. It’s not flashy, but there’s an understated power in its simplicity that sticks with you.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. It was sporadically available on VHS and is now primarily sought after in digital formats. The scarcity of physical copies adds an interesting layer to its collectibility, especially for those interested in films tackling social issues. Its distinct narrative style and thematic exploration hold a certain appeal for collectors focused on underrepresented voices in cinema.
