'A Dangerous Life': The Downfall of Ferdinand E. Marcos

I remember the Australian production TV mini-series called 'A DANGEROUS LIFE', it is about the rise of Cory Aquino and the downfall of Ferdinan E. Marcos in 1986 and the EDSA revolution. The TV series starred GARY BUSEY (star of 'The Buddy Holly Story', and Mel Gibson's nemesis in 'Lethal Weapon) , Ruben Rustia as President Marcos, Laurice Guillen as Cory Aquino with a prosthetic nose, comedienne Tessie Tomas as Imelda Marcos.

I remember the TV series was shown in ABS-CBN for 12 hours straight in December of 1988.

Here's an excerpt of the TV mini-series from YouTube.
