The Dokyu Power film festival opens with Isang Harding Papel, A Martial Law Musical by Palanca-awarded writer Augie Rivera.

Augie Rivera's Isang Harding Papel, A Martial Law Musical is based on a true story, the film is about a 7-year-old child named Jenny and her mother, Chit, an actress imprisoned for staging a street play critical of the dictatorship of President Ferdinand Marcos.

Jenny’s visits are peppered with stories she collects and saves to share with her mother. During each visit, Jenny’s Mom gifts her with a paper flower she made herself. Eventually, Jenny's collection of paper flowers resembles a lush garden.

The play is the author’s way to explain to children the big issues of Martial Law, one of the darkest chapters of the nation’s history. It also zeroes in on the impact of the dictatorship on a personal level.
