4th installment of the series of the "untutored eye" (Brakhage) exploring neocolonial alienation, commodity fetishism, and resistance in the neocolonial Philippine landscape at this moment of crisis in the epoch of globalized capital.

An experiment in exploring the problematique of "scopophilia" and the potential of what Brakhage calls "the untutored eye." See also Rosalind Krauss's THE OPTICAL UNCONSCIOUS (1998).

This segment captures scenes of the 2008 historic celebration of International Women's Day in Manila led by GABRIELA and BABALA; and the inauguration of the BANTAYOG exhibit on the "legacy" of Marcos' "martial law" terrorism being resurrected today by the universally condemned U.S.-Arroyo regime.

Recapitulation/reprise of the six collages, with the "untutored eye" exploring the contradictions of neocolonial Philippines, a microcosm of the explosive crisis of global capitalism, its convulsive death-pangs giving birth to its gravediggers.
