Wiki.
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. It stars Phillip Salvador and Dina Bonnevie.
Fight for Us premiered out of competition at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival. 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 Aquino administration; it was never given a theatrical run in the country due to local censors.
