Fight for Us

Fight for Us (titled Orapronobis in the Philippines) is a 1989 Philippine political thriller film directed by Lino Brocka and written by Jose F. Lacaba. Starring Phillip Salvador, Dina Bonnevie, Gina Alajar, and Bembol Roco, the story follows a former priest-turned-rebel and, after being freed in February 1986, becomes eventually disillusioned as the Aquino administration authorizes military-backed paramilitary cults to propagate terror and violence.

Fight for Us premiered out of competition at the 42nd Cannes Film Festival on May 11, 1989. For its French release, the original title of Orapronobis was changed due to its religious overtones. In the Philippines, the film was heavily denounced by government officials for its subversive message that criticized the Aquinoadministration; it was never given a theatrical run in the country due to local censors.
