"To Live for the Masses" is divided into four parts, each narrating Joseph Estrada's childhood, acting career and life as a politician, with the fourth part dedicated to events leading to and surrounding the 2001 EDSA Revolution as narrated from his point of view.On August 28, 2006, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board gave "To Live for the Masses" an "X" rating—reduced from the original "XXX" rating given on August 22—claiming that film was libelous and served to undermine people's faith in government, which at the time was led by Estrada's successor and former Vice President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
