THE NIGHTCRAWLERS

Directed by Alexander A. Mora

“This National Geographic film manages to remind us that in the real world, heroes are not defined by their ability to exert the most deadly force, or their colourful, cultivated persona, but by the tenacity of their compassion.”

- The Guardian

With unprecedented access, THE NIGHTCRAWLERS is an unflinching exposé of Filipino President Duterte’s war on drugs, in which some claim over 20,000 people have been killed. RL, a former staff photographer for a prominent newspaper, leads the Manila Nightcrawlers, a small group of determined photojournalists on a mission to expose the true cost of the violent campaign. In covering both sides of the conflict, The Nightcrawlers reveals a harrowing twist behind Duterte’s deadly crusade.
