The film focuses on greed and how it was introduced by the conquistadors to the Filipinos in the 1500's through their exploitation of the Philippines' Natural Resources. Today, this greed has taken a new form: Consumerism. And Colonization still happens through Imports making third world countries dependent on "bigger, richer countries."
