​Mike de Leon’s groundbreaking psychological drama is an unflinching study of sadomasochistic college fraternity traditions. 

​Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mike de Leon and hailed as one of the greatest Filipino films of all time, Batch ’81 is groundbreaking psychological drama: both an unflinching study of sadomasochistic college fraternity traditions, and a camp metaphor for life in the Philippines under the Marcos regime. 

Please note this film contains sexualised violence, politicised violence and historical depictions of race which viewers may find offensive.
