Full Plot Details

As a tropical storm beats down on the island of Cebu, two sisters leave work and never make it home... Simultaneously a murder-mystery and an exposé of endemic corruption in the Philippines today, GIVE UP TOMORROW looks intimately at the case of Paco Larrañaga, a student accused of killing two sisters in July 1997. In a way that is both specific to the country and disquietingly universal, the film exposes a Kafkaesque extravaganza populated by flamboyantly crooked public officials, cops on the take, and a frenzied legal and media circus. GIVE UP TOMORROW is also an intimate family drama focused on the near mythic struggle of two angry, sorrowful mothers who have dedicated more than a decade to executing or saving one young man.

Movie Reviews

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 8/10 by John BeifussThis documentary about Filipino injustice functions as a sort of companion piece to the 'West Memphis Three' trilogy: This, too, is a story about a young man convicted by a corrupt political system of a murder he didn't commit.
Quickflix - 8/10 by Simon MiraudoA stunning, unforgiving indictment of the corrupt justice system of the Philippines, GUT is as powerful as its acronym implies - it's a gut punch.
New York Times - 7/10 by Nicolas RapoldMr. Collins's treatment, though jam packed, leaves one itching to understand more about the bigger picture and the political and social connections involved.
User Review - 10/10 by Hella KI've just watched the Give Up Tomorrow film and I can say that it's one of the best documentaries ever made. But I felt bad after watching the film. I can't believe the hardship Paco and his family has to go through all this time. Being accused of a crime you didn't commit is terrible. But not being given a chance to fight for your right is the worst. I hope this case will come to an end. I believe that my country today is way better and stronger than it was before. I hope this case will come to an end and justice will be served. I know God is stronger and bigger than all the big people behind all this accusations. In the end, the truth will prevail.
User Review - 10/10 by Albert FConsidered by newspapers as the mistrial of the century. After watching the documentary Give Up Tomorrow, I can say for myself that there were inconsistencies and power plays that might have occurred. 1. Found body not confirmed to be the victim's. 2. Other one still missing. 3. The bereaved family having been linked to known drug syndicates. One thing is for certain, trusting the Philippine justice system is hard.
User Review - 10/10 by Noel FI am not familiar about the whole (mis)Trial of the Century regarding Paco Larrañaga and I think this one is not just about his guilt or innocence, it's about the corrupt government system that went as high as the president to manipulate justice. So sad that it happened in our country, well made and probably the best documentary that I saw.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric HThis is a story of an unjust system, looking only to protect its own neck. This is the outrage of onlookers and commentators who cannot stand the ridiculous logic behind taking a man's life away when he did not commit any wrong. Most of all, this is one young man's brave fight to show the world that he can be beaten down, but not beaten. The story is reminiscent of Mumia Abu Jamal's own plight, except the circumstances of Paco's innocence are more blatant and apparent.
User Review - 10/10 by Naomi BWatched on Netflix, haven't been this shocked from a documentary for a while, I'm speechless. I think everyone should take their time to watch it.
User Review - 8/10 by Christopher CVery well made and really plasters you infront of the TV whether you like it or not. A Interesting story about the injustice of the world that's right infront of our eyes. It could happen to everybody...but most likely if you're a rich guy in the philippines. But still...pretty pretty...pretty dangerous.
User Review - 8/10 by Emil CThis is a documentary made in the tradition of "The Thin Blue Line" and "Paradise Lost." It's about the miscarriage of justice, only this time it hits close to home for me. It tells the story of a young man (and 6 others) who were convicted of the brutal murder and rape of two young women but this guy could not have possibly committed it since the murders happened in Cebu and he was clearly seen in Manila, the capital city in a whole other island, by 40+ witnesses.. An eye-opening look into the justice system of my country. I always knew that there's lots of corruption and disgusting things happening in our government but I had no idea it was THIS bad. It's disturbing, infuriating and heartbreaking.
