The Films of John Sayles: Amigo

Directed by John Sayles
(2010, 128 minutes)
Set during the nearly-forgotten Philippine-American War, AMIGO examines the predicament of a Filipino
village mayor caught between the demands of U.S. occupying forces and the guerrilla insurgency.
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said, “AMIGO is combustible filmmaking.... In an entertainment universe of escapism and short attention spans, AMIGO is a cause for celebration.”
NOTE: John Sayles will appear at the Writers Institute on February 27th.
