Manila Colonial Scenes(1900)

movie - first aired/released 1900-11-02

Directed by Burton Holmes

At the turn of the 20th century, the streets of Manila are filled with horse-drawn carriages, people in white European dresses, and wedding parties coming out of the church. Behind the civilized face of the fin-de-siècle, however, lie the dictates of a colonizing power that has conquered a third world country.
