“58th” is coming to Taiwan soon!

On social media, GMA Pictures announced that the award-winning documentary film will be screened in Taiwan cinemas “soon.”

Further details such as screening date and ticket prices have yet to be announced.

“58th” follows the story of Reynafe Castillo (Glaiza de Castro) as she continues her years-long fight for answers and her father's recognition as the 58th victim of the Maguindanao massacre. Her story also reflects the grief of the victims' families and their pursuit of justice following the tragedy.

The Maguindanao massacre happened on November 23, 2009 in the town of Ampatuan. It is considered the deadliest single attack on journalists in world history. The massacre resulted in the death of 58 individuals, 32 of whom were journalists.

"58th" premiered in various film festivals abroad before landing at the Cinemalaya Film Festival in August.

It was later shown at the Manila International Film Festival in Hollywood in September and took home various awards, Best Picture in the documentary category, Best Director, and the “Shining a Light Award.”

“58th” has also been selected as the Philippines’ entry for the Best Documentary Feature at the 99th Academy Awards.
