Orapronobis
Fight for Us
Brocka's Cannes-premiered film was never given a Philippine theatrical release; no formal lifting of the censors' ban and no legal streaming found.
Status
Screened publicly, with no current legal way to watch.
Availability checked 31 October 2026.
Quoted reason
"Lino Brocka’s “Orapronobis” has the unfortunate status of still being haunted by the local censors board’s ban against its “subversive” message, three and a half decades later."
Where to watch
No legal streaming, VOD or archive access was found.

Notes
Filed as unavailable rather than banned because no quotable regulator or court decision was located. Asian Movie Pulse reports no formal lifting of the ban and that Brocka lost the court case. An unofficial full-length upload circulates online; it is not linked. MUBI says the film is not currently playing. Availability checked 31 Oct 2026.
