Movie Review: Dance Of The Steelbars
A story inspired by actual events in a Filipino prison, the
struggles that inmates experience and their quest to feel human again. This
riveting feature film about redemption follows Frank Parish (Patrick Bergin), a
retired US fireman and philanthropist who finds himself wrongly accused of
murder and jailed in the Philippines. Stuck in prison, Frank was beginning to
lose faith in everything he believed in until he becomes friends with Mando
(Dingdong Dantes), a convicted murderer who denies his passion for dancing just
to prove his masculinity and Allona (Joey Paras), a transsexual who tries to
contribute to prison reforms by teaching his fellow inmates dance exercises.
They get involved in a tricky struggle between the positive changes initiated
by the new warden (Ricky Davao) and the corrupt system that weighs down the
inmates' chance to become better individuals. Frank finds himself caught in an
intricate web of lies and must choose between concealing what he knows to keep
himself out of danger or to help his fellow inmates by revealing the truth.
Will he remain on the sidelines as an observer, or will he dance the dance of
the steel bars?
