In 1985, Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos called a surprise snap election in response to public outrage over the assassination of opposition leader Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino. His opponent? Ninoy’s widow, Corazon “Cory” Aquino, who had never been involved in politics beyond supporting her husband. Delegates will represent key figures of the opposition movement in their attempt to unseat the Marcos dictatorship despite mass voter disenfranchisement and electoral fraud.
