The documentary film shows me how Jose Rizal lived his life with his own ideas and principles. Although he existed with better life and belongs to a middle class family, it was clear for him how Filipino people suffered from the hands of the Spaniards who ruled the country in his time.

It was good that he still has very good and loyal friends in some countries in Europe that helped him out in publishing his book. I can’t imagine how he feels about the horrifying things happened to him as well as his family. Many of them suffered due to that rebellion against the Spaniards.
