Premise
11,103 features interviews about firsthand accounts of state-sponsored violence during martial law under Ferdinand Marcos. The documentary features 11 survivors recognized by Republic Act 10368 to provide repatriations; several of them are survivors of the 1981 Las Navas massacre and the 1974 Palimbang massacre.[1][2][3] One of the interviews takes place at the mosque where the Palimbang massacre took place, with the family interviewed openly speaking of their accounts for the first time.[2] The interviews include: a SVD priest who was beaten in prison, who discusses his "own healing" through art, and shows his ink portraits and animations used in the documentary and work as president of the Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement; a Philippine General Hospital doctor imprisoned for treating suspected New People's Army members who recalls her brother being abducted in plain sight; and a church teacher abducted from a pastor's home in Davao who was imprisoned and sexually abused for weeks and now leads a crisis center for women.[2]
The film shows the archival work of the Human Rights Violations Victims Memorial Commission (HRVVMC) and people lining up to receive compensation from Republic Act No. 10368. Accounts are interspersed with footage of the UniTeam presidential campaign.[2][3] The film also discusses the Freedom Memorial Museum and features footage of the cornerstone laying in 2022. The documentary ends with survivors of the Sag-od massacre, followed by an interview between Bongbong Marcos and Juan Ponce Enrile, and the archived documents of the HRVVMC.[2][4][5]
