WORLD IPIS
The film tells the story of a cockroach who becomes tired of being mistreated and killed by humans and decides to fight back. He persuades his fellow cockroaches to join his cause by telling them his plans on how to take revenge. However, his firm resolve proves to be insufficient, as an insecticide spray lurking from outside the crack ends his life.
The filmmakers try to use the film as a reflection of society in terms of power struggle and prejudice against minority. In the film, the cockroaches become aware of the oppression that comes from the larger society and they decide to take action and change the system. But despite the awareness that they have, the larger part of the society makes change hard for them to realize. Likewise, marginalized sectors create efforts to free themselves and gain acceptance. However, the majority fails to understand and help them, thus they remain powerless.
