Martin Sheen
Martin Sheen’s legendary career spans decades, but few realize that his defining breakthrough—Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now—was filmed entirely in the Philippines. Widely regarded as one of the most daring and influential films in cinema history, Apocalypse Now reshaped the war genre and cemented Sheen’s place in Hollywood. During its famously grueling production, Sheen and his family lived in the Philippines for over two years—an experience that left a lasting imprint. KITÁ marks his first major return to the islands in a film project. Moved by what the country gave him at the start of his journey, Sheen embraces this film and its message as a meaningful way to give back to future generations.
