Disintegration 93-96 is an essay film about the Filipino American undocumented experience, retracing connections between 90s home movie nostalgia, postcolonial identity, and the disintegration of traditional family models. DISINTEGRATION 93-96 is a popculture meditation on hyper-consumerism and cultural erasure. Filmmaker Miko Revereza problematizes the personal questions linked with global implications, specifically the act of recording a film document without possessing the legal documents.
