Through it was one of the bloodiest military exchanges in the history of modern warfare, the Philippine-American War has been relegated to discussions between academics and historians. Using captivating re-enactments and graphic historical photographs, "Memories of the Forgotten War" is an international collaboration among Filipino and American and media artists, filmed in the Philippines. Shot on location in Luzon and Mindanao, the film is emotional raw and visually beautiful. Local amateur actors were used to re-enact scenes of war violence on locations where the original violence took place, allowing the Filipinos re-enact their own history.
