Philippine film The Woman Who Left (Ang Babaeng Humayo) available to stream online via Harris Theater, through May 31.


The Harris Theater is presenting the 2016 Philippine film The Woman Who Left (Ang Babaeng Humayo) online through May 31.
Winner of the Golden Lion at the 2016 Venice Film Festival, Filipino filmmaker Lav Diaz’s epic story of revenge deferred functions as a tale of urban theater and class warfare. After 30 years in prison, a woman discovers that her friend and fellow inmate committed the murder of which she was accused. This leads to her release and subsequent discovery of the man who framed her. Inspired by Tolstoy, THE WOMAN WHO LEFT is a sensitive expression of family and forgiveness.
A portion of the proceeds through this month will go to the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust's Harris Theater.
