Manila City Jail screens 'Green Bones' for PDL inmates
On social media, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Manila City Jail Male Dorm shared some snaps of the inmates watching the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival Best Picture on July 9.
According to the post, the screening aimed to offer inmates a meaningful and reflective experience. It also served as a therapeutic and rehabilitative tool, encouraging PDLs to reflect on their life choices, express their emotions, and foster a more positive outlook toward change.
The film, produced by GMA Pictures, is directed by Zig Dulay based on an original story by JC Rubio, senior documentary manager of GMA Public Affairs.
It follows Domingo Zamora (Dennis Trillo), who is notorious for the murder of his sister and her daughter. Now that Domingo is up for parole, the newly assigned prison guard (Ruru Madrid) takes a personal interest in making sure that he remains behind bars no matter what.
"Green Bones" won several awards at the MMFF 2024, such as Best Picture, Best Screenplay (Ricky Lee and MMFF 2023 Best Screenplay winner Angeli Atienza), Best Actor (Dennis), Best Supporting Actor (Ruru), Best Cinematography (Neil Daza), and Best Child Performer (Sienna Stevens).
It also won First Best Picture, Best Actor (Dennis), Best Supporting Actor (Ruru), and Best Director (Direk Zig) at the 3rd Gawad Dangal Filipino Awards.
"Green Bones" is currently streaming in Netflix.
