Storyline:
Set in the Maguindanao region of Western Mindanao, Philippines, Moro follows two brothers, Jasim, the diligent elder brother, and Abdel, the irresponsible younger brother who has squandered his savings on gambling. After having an ominous dream involving her deceased husband, their mother attempts to reconcile the two brothers. With the assistance of the local community, the family finds a semblance of peace. However, unexpected government intervention soon plunges the entire region into a state of severe violence. Moro reveals that sometimes even those we think of as close friends may become the most destructive enemies. The director’s exploration of the weak links within relationships is truly outstanding.
