Shot on 8mm film in 1944, this archival footage captures civilians and workers walking along a road amidst widespread destruction in Manila, Philippines. The scene shows a war-torn urban landscape with rubble-strewn streets, damaged buildings, and a leafless tree standing amidst the ruins. People in period clothing move across the frame, some carrying goods, under a clear sky. The footage exhibits the characteristic grain, color fading, and soft focus of vintage home movie film, offering a poignant glimpse into post-war life in the Philippines.
