the Bells of Balangiga, taken by the American military after an attack on a marine

garrison on the island of Samar in 1901. This one-hour documentary film examines

the controversy over who "owns" the bells as a way of telling the untold story of that

war and its legacy. Screening introduced by filmmaker Bernard Stone and followed by

a panel discussion with Dorotea Mendoza, Angel Shaw, Luis H. Francia,

and other special guests. Co-sponsored by GABRIELA Network NY/NJ Chapter
