Machete Maidens Unleashed

Set in the final decades of the 20th century, the film takes place in the Philippines, a country where low-budget exploitation-film producers were free to make nearly any kind of movie they wanted, any way they pleased. It was a country with extremely lax labor regulations and a very permissive attitude towards cultural expression. As a result, it became a hotbed for the production of cheapie movies. This film tells about their history and the genre itself.
