As a tropical storm beats down on an island in the Philippines, two sisters leave work and never make it home. Paco Larrañaga, a 19-year-old student, is sentenced to death for their rape and murder, despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence. Give Up Tomorrow is a film to exposes shocking corruption within the judicial system of the Philippines and about one of the most sensational trials in the country’s history. Reflecting schisms of race, class, and political power at the core of the Philippines’ tumultuous democracy, clashing families, institutions, and individuals face off to convict or free Paco. Rather than simply building an evidentiary case about an individual injustice, the film discloses the roots of this miscarriage to reveal the interconnected complexities that permeate Filipino culture. This film is also an intimate family drama focused on the near mythic struggle of two angry and sorrowful mothers who have dedicated more than a decade to executing or saving one young man. Paco was due to be classed as a third-grade prisoner and released on parole, but remains incarcerated there still. The parole board requires him to admit his guilt. So far, he has refused.
