1898: Our Last Men in the Philippines

In the waning days of the 19th century, the small village of Baler in the Philippines becomes the unexpected stage for an epic standoff between fifty Spanish soldiers and their resilient Filipino and American adversaries. Despite the inevitability of Spain's dwindling empire and the approaching defeat of its forces, these determined men are forced into a grueling, eleven-month siege within the walls of the outpost they are tasked with rebuilding. As the tension between both sides intensifies, their unyielding spirit serves as an enduring testament to the human capacity for courage and fortitude in the face of overwhelming odds. This is a story that not only chronicles the final moments of Spain's colonial rule but also pays homage to those who stood firm until the bitter end.
