 | | This may explain why "Edsa 1986" sometimes comes across as an educational video, with animated scenes illustrating salient points (such as the analogy of the confluence of events with a mango ripening), and using what the producers call "an MTV-type program format," including a snazzy "hip-hop" score. |
 | | As the producers explain, another objective was to acknowledge the roles played by people they called the "real heroes" of Edsa, individuals who played their parts in anonymity, content to let the spotlight shine on the principals. |
 | | What makes viewing "Edsa 1986" a bittersweet experience, at least for this Edsa survivor, is the realization that the high hopes that swelled in everyone's hearts during those four days have been dashed to pieces today, 20 years after. |
