“Fidel,” a story written by Charlotte Diangco, and directed by mark shandii bacolod, tackles the contreversial topic of “male rape” among OFWs in the Dubai. Fidel is a rape victim and killed his employer because he rape him.
It’s a reality happening so it’s not a voyeuristic thing. The truth is victims are male overseas worker in middle east or arabian country or any part of the world.
Since Men are seen in society as the backbone of the family, they bring these dark secrets to their graves. Filipino men work abroad the earn and provide the best for their families.
But sad truth is that, what if you fall to the arms of misery and be his next prey . This is not just all about homosexuality. Real men are victims too. They have same feelings as what women felt when they was raped.
This is more than pain and death.
