May In The Valley Of The Rainbow



This Naoki Award-winning epic takes a hard look at the guerrilla movements in the Philippines before 9/11. It is narrated in the voice of a young boy, which adds a sentimental and empathetic tone that for all its juvenile innocence will pull on the heartstrings of anyone concerned with contemporary global turmoil.

His real name is Toshio Manahan, but everyone calls him Japino because he's half-Japanese half-Filipino. Japino reveals the troubling world adolescence we are all familiar with, in a most foreign atmosphere of local guerrilla warfare and a state run by corrupt policemen, in Garsaponga, a rural village in the tropical mountains of the Philippines.
