Brocka directed about forty films in his lifetime, most of which were made during UsefulNotes/FerdinandMarcos' dictatorship. Brocka was a staunch Marcos critic and his films often focused on poor and/or marginalized groups (such as the LGBT community, prostitutes, and slum residents) who suffered under a corrupt, oppressive, and ineffectual system. After flying back from the Cannes Film Festival, where he was promoting ''Film/BayanKoKapitSaPatalim'', he was imprisoned alongside other political dissidents until Marcos was deposed in 1986. In the years before his death, Brocka remained well-regarded by the local film community and continued to portray the new government's corruption and failings.
