1991 film by Peter Sellars

The Machine That Killed Bad People is about the cultural and political history of the Philippines leading up to the overthrow of President Ferdinand Marcos in 1986. It also addresses the role of electronic media in the struggle for power, and more broadly, American intervention in the Third World. Using a structure that emulates the way television news programs construct meaning through fragmentation, the tape interweaves clips of Filipino activists and reporters, a fictional television anchorwoman and correspondent, commentary by independent filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha, Fagin's off-camera voice and script, and anonymous excerpts from commercial television.

在不远的未来，纽约已进入社会主义民主时代，但政府所承诺的理想愿景却毫无实现的契机。随着一位参与社运的非裔女性于拘禁期间死亡的事件爆发，社会上的不满声浪越来越大，各方女权人士决定同心协力合作，彷若一组地下部队，大举向主流社会进攻。本片挑衅意味浓厚的激进政治意涵，结合DIY式纪录片美学及科幻设定，推出当年即风靡于纽约地下电影圈，一举成为经典靠片，不仅对当时四分五裂的女性主义团体们用力踩了一脚，也向纽约地下朋克、第三世界解放运动，及持续为女权运动奋战的斗士们致敬。
