After months of anticipation and a last-minute cancellation at Cinemalaya, GMA Public Affairs and GMA Pictures’ much-awaited investigative docu-film, Lost Sabungeros, is finally getting its time in the spotlight. Mark your calendars, because this gripping film will make its debut at the QCinema International Film Festival this November.

Originally scheduled to premiere at the prestigious Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival last August, the screenings of Lost Sabungeros were abruptly canceled, with the festival citing security concerns as the reason behind the decision. Fans and followers of the film were left wondering if they would ever get the chance to watch this deeply relevant story unfold on the big screen.

But the wait is almost over. Lost Sabungeros dives deep into the mysterious disappearances of several men involved in the sabong (cockfighting) community—a phenomenon that has raised questions and concerns in recent years. The documentary promises to explore not just the stories of the missing, but also the larger forces at play within the world of cockfighting in the Philippines, revealing a side of the country’s culture rarely seen in mainstream media.

The film’s upcoming screening at QCinema couldn’t be more fitting. Known for showcasing films that push boundaries and spark important conversations, QCinema provides the perfect platform for Lost Sabungeros to finally be seen and discussed.

Don’t miss this chance to catch Lost Sabungeros as it makes its long-awaited debut. If you're into real-life mysteries and investigative storytelling, this is one film you’ll want to experience in theaters.
