Among Nora Aunor's most ambitious movie projects was an epic film called "Banaue: Stairway to the Sky" which was released in 1975. Aunor reportedly invested much of her own money into the production of the film. She mortgaged her house, she took bank loans, and she took advances from future films to help fund the project.
The movie was among the most expensive film projects during its time. And it showed in the final product.
When it comes to historical accuracy and cultural authenticity, the film falls short. That's understandable since it's a movie, not a documentary. Entertainment-wise, it's worth checking out especially if you are an enthusiast of vintage/classic Filipino films.
You can watch a restored/remastered version of the film on YouTube. Full and free. Just search for the film's title.
