This is a feature film telling the story of a lowly factory worker Rene who agreed to organize and lead a workers' union (under the NatDem line) after witnessing and experiencing retrenching and anti-union drive from his company.
Rene unbeknownst to him that he is being pawned by a leading NPA cadre who successfully indoctrinated and influenced him and his co-workers to launch a massive strike (supported by other KMU chapters) that will paralyze the company's operations.
Rene's shadowy Political Officer (PO) was played by veteran and multi-awarded actor Bembol Roco.
The strike claimed the lives of innocent workers (ironically, from the hands of combative fellow workers) including Rene.
The film accurately depicts the terroristic nature, anarchist tendency, violent agitations, and gross manipulation of situations of the CPP-NPA-NDF to launch public outrage, economic sabotage, and thus breed grounds favorable for armed revolution.
The film also shows the ubiquitous urban operations of a cadre: to agitate, organize, and mobilize. Interestingly, it also shows the murderous liquidation hit squads of the NPA known as Special Partisan Armed Revolutionary Unit or SPARUs.
