The Blind Soldiers
Set in a rural Mindanao, as the Japanese invasion intensifies, five men from the Teduray tribe of Cotabato enlisted in the United States of Armed Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) during the World War Two. What starts as a noble intention soon turns out to be a nightmare when they realized the magnitude of the war they signed up for, compounding their struggle is the fact that they are illiterates.

Reviews
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
