New trailer for director Ben Rekhi's gritty thriller.


In the Philippines the concept of a drug war is all too literal, with the police employing military style tactics in a futile attempt to stamp out drug gangs. It's against this backdrop that director Ben Rekhi sets his thriller Watch List. Inspired by true events, the film follows a woman who explores Manila's underworld in search of answers regarding her husband's murder. Arthur Acuña, Alessandra de Rossi and Jake Macapagal star.

Watch List is available in the US through virtual cinemas from August 21st and on VOD from September 1st. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.

The official synopsis reads:

WATCH LIST is set against the drug wars in the Philippines. After her husband is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Maria is left to fend for her three children in a police state. As she delves into Manila’s dark underworld of cops, criminals, and drugs to find answers, she realizes the truth is never black and white, and that she must explore her own darkness to keep her family safe.
