Dingdong Dantes brings Dance of the Steel Bars to Cebu Provincial and Rehabilitation Center

CEBU, Philippines - Today, GMA Films and Portfolio Films mark another groundbreaking move as it holds the first movie premiere inside prison via Dance of the Steel Bars special preview in Cebu Provincial and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) led by multi-awarded actor Dingdong Dantes.

Dingdong shares his excitement of going back to Cebu to show the final output of their hardwork. “After years of waiting, I am eager to send the inmates the good news that our movie will finally be shown.” The Cebu dancing inmates played true to life roles in the movie directed by GMA News reporter Cesar Apolinario and Marnie Manicad.

This afternoon, Dingdong together with the team behind the movie will pay a courtesy call at the Office of the Governor in Cebu Provincial Capitol followed by Dance of the Steel Bars special screening in CPDRC.

When Dingdong was asked about what he wanted the inmates to realize after watching the movie, “Our talents were given to be explored, whether behind bars or on an open field. What matters is how we improve ourselves and others by this gift,” he shares.

Dance of the Steel Bars will kick start Philippine Independence Day as it premieres beginning June 12 in all SM Cinemas. (FREEMAN)
