Most of Brocka's movies won awards for Best Screenplay and Best Director. Aware and sensitive of the times, He made movies that tackled sensitive socio-cultural issues, the struggles of the urban poor and the people’s perspectives of government, among many others. Lino Brocka is possibly the ultimate icon of Philippine cinema!
give us "Manila in the Claws of Light (1975) " and "Insiang (1976)" if you're really concerned about his films.
Thanks for this!
