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.

Minh-ha, Fagin's off-camera voice and script, and anonymous excerpts from commercial television.
