Give Up Tomorrow
Directed by Michael Collins
(USA, UK) — International Premiere
In 1997, Paco Larrañaga was arrested for the murder of two sisters on a provincial island in the Philippines. Over the next 13 years, his case became the highest profile in the nation’s history, and the focal point in a far-reaching exposé of gross miscarriage of justice. At once an engrossing murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and a stunning indictment of national corruption, Give Up Tomorrow is an enraging true crime chronicle. In English, Spanish, Tagalog with English subtitles.
The film is also being shown on BBC 4 on Tuesday 5th April at 8.30 pm as part of their 'Justice' series.
