'Bayaning 3rd World' is available for free streaming on Rizal Day

The award-winning film "Bayaning 3rd World" is available for free streaming all throughout this year's celebration of Rizal Day, December 30.

In a Facebook post, Casa Grande Vintage Filipino Cinema announced that viewers can watch the critically-acclaimed film all through Wednesday, Jose Rizal's 124th death anniversary.

"Bayaning 3rd World" was directed by Mike de Leon and first released in 1999. The remastered version with English subtitles will stream on Vimeo.

The film is wound with satire and mystery as the film unravels the life of Rizal through the investigation of two filmmakers who "interview" key people present in the national hero's life.

The film, which starred Ricky Davao, Joel Torre, Cris Villanueva, Cherry Pie Picache, Daria Ramirez, Rio Locsin, and Joonee Gamboa, among others, won numerous awards in the 23rd Gawad Urian in 2000. —Kaela Malig/MGP, GMA News
