Droga!
Directed by Miko Revereza
Description
Taking the form of an eccentric super 8 home movie, DROGA! explores the condition of hybrid cultural identity in its interaction with the Filipino-American community of Los Angeles. With its purposefully unresolved structure and an almost punk aesthetic attitude, we experience the repetitions, confusions, and cultural dissonance of a transplanted community and identity.
