Human Rights Film: Rated X by MTRCB

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board gave the "Rights" an X rating because the scenes "are presented unfairly, one-sided, and undermines the faith and confidence of the government and duly constituted authorities, thus, not for public exhibition."

The “Rights” film is a compilation of short films portraying their views on the Philippines' human rights situation. This was produced by the groups Free Jonas Burgos Movement, Desaparecidos, Karapatan and the Southern Luzon Exposure.

The film was to have been shown on the 35th anniversary of the Martial Law declaration of former President Ferdinand Marcos, Friday, September 21.
