A few weeks ago, Ramona Diaz's documentary, A Thousand Cuts, was released on Youtube for Independence Day. The film is an unflinching look into Duterte's Philippines and the attack on news website Rappler during the 2018 senatorial election period. We talk to director Ramona Diaz and the film's subject, Maria Ressa, about the trials and tribulations of being truthtellers in a country that persecutes such people, reasons why they still love the Philippines, and how well George Clooney makes coffee. #defendpressfreedom
